Look, I'm not an expert at the behind-the-scenes advertising pitch like TinyEvel, but I will tell you that it takes nearly an act of God to get a commercial from storyboard to airing. Everyone wants to have a say to quantify and qualify themselves. It's (IMO) a grinding process and there's no way in the world that this was conceptualized, budgeted, cast and shot with a Kardashian look-a-like by accident.
I tend to agree with you. However, objectively speaking, who was being impersonated in other countless similar GAP or Old Navy commercials? Given the fact that those exist, it shouldn't be as obvious of a case as you make it. You could almost claim that out of 20 commercials and 200 models, one simply happened to look like Kim.
