We all know that with celebrity comes big-headedness, but this is beyond ridiculous. Below is an ad that E-Trade aired during the Super Bowl. The ad features two babies video chatting, as he explains why he bailed on her last night (diversifying his portfolio of course), when in pops "... that milkaholic, Lindsay." This 30 second ad has apparently caused Lindsay Lohan 100 million dollars worth of pain and suffering, as she has filed a law suit against the financial company.
According to Lohan's lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, she is just as famous and Madonna, Prince or Oprah, and is recognized by one name, "Lindsay".
She quotes, "Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit," Ovadia said. "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." Or at least Lindsay Lohan seems to think it is.
They are currently seeking an injunction to force the spot off of the air. As down with Twitter Lindsay Lohan is, I guess she doesn't realize that taking an ad off of television does not remove its mobility. Call me naive, but this girl's ego astounds me, I mean I have a few friends named Lindsay who are known to hit the bottle, but you don't see them getting their panties in a twist. And lets get real here, when was the last time you met a baby named Susan?
