Lindsay Lohan Sues E-Trade Over Superbowl Commercial

Lindsay Lohan must really be hurting for cash because she has launched one of the most ridiculous celebrity lawsuits I’ve ever heard of – she is suing E-trade for using a milkaholic baby called Lindsay in one of their ads.

Lohan believes that the ad is a parody on her life because the ad features two babies talking when the girl asks if the “milkaholic Lindsay” was over. So let’s get this straight Lohan thinks an ad featuring a boyfriend-stealing-milkaholic baby called Lindsay is based on her. Actually it does sound exactly like Lohan, only take away the milk part and put in alcoholic.

Stephanie Ovadia, a lawyer for Lohan, said “Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit. They used the name Lindsay. They’re using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn’t they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody’s talking about it and saying it’s Lindsay Lohan.”

I don’t know whats funnier the fact that she is pretty much agreeing with us all that all she is known for is an alcoholic or the fact that she is so self-important that she believes her name can be used as single-name recognition such as Oprah, Beyonce or Madonna

A rep on behalf of the company who produced the ad said that Lohan didn’t even pop into their heads when they were making the commerical and that they used the name Lindsay because it’s a popular name and one of their employees is called that.

Lohan is asking for $50 million in exemplary damages and another $50 million in compensatory damages, I would like to know what exact damages this has caused her? I didn’t even know about the commercial until this lawsuit was filed. If you asked me a few years ago if Lindsay Lohan could go by single-name recognition I would have said yes but now I would laugh at you. Check the video out for yourself here.
