Last year someone here posted a 15 minute video of their brother and him restoring their dads Norton for a surprise Christmas present.
The video was so heartwarming it went somewhat viral.
Now Wells Fargo Bank has made a 30 second commercial eerily similar to that great video.
Anyone else see the similarities?
The changed the storyline enough but it still involves a father, a son and a restored Norton.
Is it a Rip? Homage? or coincidence?

really? It's the same exact motorcycle! Even the lead character wears the same gray skull cap in a few scenes!
I'm hoping the original guy who directed the family video had something to do with this rather than some corporate brainstorming team saw it than storyboarded out an unoriginal idea based on a viral video.- yup, i say corporate brainstorming team saw ......moldero

Ripped idea for sure. They could of at least changed it from being a norton to make it not seem so obvious.
