T-Mobile Helicopter Ad

Hey, this looks suspiciously like that Amex Black Card ad from last year. Hot woman with long brown hair: check. Riding superbike in tight black leather outfit: check. Rides bike to catch a black helicopter: check. Hard rockin’ song blasting in the background: check. Hmmm, I wonder what may have influenced this spot?

(Now, admittedly there is some pink on these black items in the T-Mobile spot, but they are also, and predominantly, black.)

Oh, but in this ad, she doesn’t dive into the ocean from the helicopter and get on a huge powerboat yacht. (I guess that means she’s not a drug lord like the other lady? Although what she sells is also very addictive: smartphone connectivity. So maybe they’re not so different after all…)
