[**Zeldar** told me to do this.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8662478&postcount=55) Recast the spokesperson of your choice from any ad past or present with any actor/celebrity/personality. Margot Kidder\*: “Don’t leave home without it.” Bocat Goldthwait: “Winston tastes good, like a cigarette should.” - or Anne Heche or anyone else who’s been in the news for wandering through other people’s back yards in a daze. ---
