Found Footage: Gee that commercial seems familiar

There was a bwin TV-Spot that was made previously and resembled exactly the same storytelling features. It was aired all over europe. And it featured soccer-players in yellow/black. Add the ipodesque-LSD-stuff and you got a bad copyad. Disgusting. Maybe someone can find the bwin-ad online an post it here?

If it is a real rip off, just say LAWSUIT. If not steveco. will be quiet about it. Also remember, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, as long as no one copies the appleTV commercial, that one sucked.

This is just how it happens. Didn't anyone notice every other ad being shot on a white seamless background after the Switchers campaign?

TBWAChiatDay Los Angeles does the Apple work, not sure if another TBWA agency did the ad in question, but I don't think they'd want to dilute their own ad campaign by doing ANOTHER one in the same style.

This seems to me like a purposeful ripoff... a parody, if you will.

It seems Apple has created an advertising meme, and others are capitalizing on it. Though this rip-off is especially shameless, I recall an incident with Apple's Eminem ads that were neither authorized by Eminem, nor were they original – a Lugz ad with similar style predated it by about three years:

Oh yeah thats right Steve Jobs invented the silhouette.

YAYYYY lets all roll around in Steve Jobs' poo!!!!!!!

Anyone care to think it's meant to be similar?

Anybody consider that the same ad agency that created that iPod commercial might have also made this one? Or does Apple have an in-house advertising group?

There's the original. That clip above is Painfully faithful to it!
