Capital One Smartphone Alec Baldwin Q Ad

Yes, this one has been on for a while. Alec Baldwin is in the spy service's gadget department, and as the person in charge (Q, from the James Bond movies, I think we're intended to infer) warns him against pressing certain buttons, he accidentally shoots some guy with a poison dart, and then summons some leather-clad hottie on a motorcycle. And this is a nice surprise. But for the next ad, I think maybe he should be punished for such irresponsibility. Which is why I think the next ad in this campaign ought to see Alec Baldwin pressing another button he's told not to press, which brings forth his stalker, who attacks him, after which she is the new spokeswoman for Capitol One. And then it turns out that's the only reason she was stalking him all along: she wanted to be the Capital One spokesperson!

Here's the smartalec ad:
