Perhaps you've been flipping through a magazine recently, only half paying attention to the advertisements, when something stops you. Was that just...Marlon Brando? Yes, yes it was the late great Marlon Brando, all youthful and thin. It seems Armstrong Flooring (not the most glamorous product in the world) had the ingenious idea of using dead cool pitchmen. There is another ad featuring the similiarly cool and dead Dean Martin, though I must say that the photoshop is not quite as mastery in that one. Check them out, they are pretty well done.
