G4′s Olivia Munn Gets Naked, for the Elephants’ Sake

by Robert Quigley | 4:29 pm, April 27th

G4 presenter and widely-ogled “Hollywood Geek” Olivia Munn is no stranger to semi-nudity: She poses provocatively on the cover of her upcoming book, she regularly dons revealing geekwear, such as the obligatory Princess Leia slave girl outfit, and she even appeared in an issue of Playboy (though she was not naked in it).

The video has gone viral: since it was posted on YouTube on February 19th, it has already netted more than 150,000 pageviews.

But the video left many questions unanswered: Is it a viral ad of some sort? Does anyone really play XBox like that? And is Tahiticora really a bona fide XBox fan? Geekosystem investigates:
