Suri Cruise starring in a political ad?

Over the weekend, a sharp-eyed reader, somehow not completely numbed into sensory failure by the recent proliferation of election season TV ads, noticed a striking similarity between a baby in a commercial for Prop 87 and Suri Cruise, the Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes offspring suspiciously withheld from public view for several agonizing months following her alleged date of birth. A trio of possibilities instantly present themselves: a) a politically sympathetic Cruise lent his daughter to the cause (or, perhaps, is putting her to work to help fund his next movie project); b) the Prop 87 folks used the same casting agency employed by Cruise for the Vanity Fair cover shoot, who mistakenly supplied the same talent despite his insistence that the infant be permanently retired at the conclusion of the VF gig; c) all adorable newborns wearing fashion-forward baby toupees look alike.

Video of the ad follows after the jump, allowing you to form your own opinions about the amazing resemblance. ("Suri" is the second baby shown.)

anyone who wants to post the still is more than welcome to. I personally see a remarkable resemblance and it starts to explain why KrazyKatie is out and about on a daily basis but never with her pillow.

There is definitely a resemblance. I think it's b) they used the same casting agency.

Eerie!

This is a good explanation too (from the comments):

"You forgot the most obvious of possibilities: Somehow one of the dozens of other identical clones created for Cruise, and one was clearly spirited away from the Hemet Gold facility, where the Suris are being raised. Many Suri clones are being raised; in case a mishap befalls one, others are on standby to fill in for the Scientology Messiah. Some infidel must have absconded with a Suri and, realizing her inherent genetic star potnetial, gotten her this role in a commercial. Scientology has no other choice but to track down the Suri clone and kill her lest she intrude on the real Suri clone's L. Ron Hubbard-given right to worldwide box-office domination!"

I don't get the point of this ridiculous charade - sooner or later it will come to light that they faked the entire baby thing and leave them looking really, really stupid [and really, really fucking pathetic]. How in the world does Cruise think this will help him any?

I vote b.

Tom Cruise is in heading towards achieving the same bizarro status as Michael Jackson.

^^All he needs is a monkey and an oxygen chamber and he's there.

[twitchy]

Oxygen chamber? But he already has a sonogram machine! What happened to that whole "we're going to donate it to a hospital" thing anyway?

[buttmunch]

^^^*slaps head* Forgot about the damn sonogram machine! You're right...he's halfway there already.

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

Eh. Babies all look alike to me.

[Raspberry gashes]

, B! Same kid. How pathetic is this!

I know, I wonder what his intentions are, and how much Katie is being paid to be part of this creepy shit.
