In a new ad by a political action group affiliated with President Barack Obama urging the U.S. Congress to raise the minimum wage, one of the featured hardworking, underpaid taxpayers is not like the other.

According to UK's Telegraph, the nonprofit Organizing for America, which formed out of the President's campaign and is run by 2012 campaign manager Jim Messina, used what appears to be stock footage showing a woman on London's Overground commuter train.

The 30-second TV spot set to stirring music, which premiered this week, begins with a shot of a man in a cowboy hat driving a car, followed by a glimpse of the blonde Londoner sipping coffee and looking anxiously out the window.

It's not like facts ever mattered to that bunch, anyway.
