Hmm...coincidence?

Okay, every time I fly home to Atlanta, I see these really pretty AT&T ads by the security checkpoint. I was looking to find them to post in my blog as an example, but when I searched for it, I found TONS of other ads using this so-called "hand art". Some of the earlier campaigns go as far back as the eighties! Lintas
New York City, New York
1986
What the heck! Look...I found some other "hand art" ads that are almost identical to this one...Saatchi and Saatchi
Switzerland
2008

I found this one from 2004...

Holy cow...these all look so unbelievably similar. I am sure BBDO and Saatchi and Saatchi got the idea from these earlier campaigns. I know it's the real world, but it is so disappointing to me that such renowned agencies would be such copycats (get it?).
