Lindsay Lohan Infuriated Over Drunk Driving Ad - Photo

Lindsay Lohan is not happy about the above advertisement, which ran in USA Today from the American Beverage Institute. The ad warns us against evil doers that want Ignition interlocks (a breathalyzer) installed in every car in America.

Lohan’s attorney, Blair Blerk issued this statement to TMZ:

“USA TODAY is idiotic for running such an irresponsible advertisement, suggesting that drinking and driving is some kind of American “tradition” we should protect. Not identifying that this ad was paid for by the liquor industry is profoundly reckless.

Drunk, old, white businessmen, drunk cougars out for girls night out, and drunk wedding parties should be kept off the roads of America. Lindsay Lohan fully endorses ignition interlock devices that have been well-proven to save lives.”

What others said:

Gawker says, “The ad is to show us how drunk-sensing ignition locks should be used in moderation. Because, I, um, guess there is a gray area when it comes to drunk driving. So, yeah, their cause is pretty bad. But even worse is that they spelled the freckled boozehound’s name wrong. It’s “Lindsay,” not “Lindsey” you dopes. You take out a full page ad in a national newspaper and you can’t even spell a damn name right? You’ve been drinking too much.”

Dlisted says, “Lindsay should sue. The booze industry has a lot of cash and she needs some……for more boozing!!”
