Anyone else notice that Versus plagiarized one of their commercials? (no spoilers)

Okay, they didn’t exactly plagiarize it. But their “Testosterone TV” commercials seem to be “highly inspired” by the popular Powerthirst internet videos.

For reference, here are the Powerthirst videos (maybe SFW):

First video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRuNxHqwazs
Second video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-3qncy5Qfk

I can’t find a link to the “Testosterone TV” commercial, but if you’ve been watching the Tour you’ve probably seen the commercial at least 58 times.

LOL that was definitely one of the best South Park episodes.

Though I think in this case, the Versus commercial’s similarity to the Powerthirst videos goes beyond Beefcake and into the realm of “oops, too close.” Though I doubt the Powerthirst guys care–they do have plenty of MENERGY after all.
