This immediately brought to mind the advertising for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Funny how similar they look, yes? Sad how we're running out original ideas for advertising robots who look like people already.

Surrogate Advertising... Ripped off From Terminator?
I stumbled across this advertisement for Bruce Willis' upcoming Matrix-esque movie Surrogates while browsing the web today.

Even better, the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles ad campaign was itself a ripoff of Star Trek: First Contact! Remember the Borg Queen?

actually both were stolen from an art student photo, I think he was from Ireland, I remember seeing it a LONG time ago when he first made it... but yes, both were stolen from him and he successfully sued both.
star trek, gimme a break, adults still watch that crap? haha
