I'm somewhat amazed no one seems to have posted this to VJ yet. Seems like the kind of OT fodder that gets "Drudged" here in real time.

As for me, I plan to sue "Scandals Ball Sac" for $100 million dollars for defamation of character, and stealing my likeness. Scandal - like Oprah, Madonna, and Lindsay - is a recognizable one-word moniker that I will protect through legal action if necessary :whistle:

Lohan Sues E*Trade Over Super Bowl Ad

By STUART ELLIOTT

DESCRIPTIONA lawsuit claims that the infant on the left in this E*Trade ad was based on Lindsay Lohan.

Lindsay Lohan is suing E*Trade Financial over a popular television commercial that made its debut during Super Bowl XLIV and has appeared subsequently during coverage of the Winter Olympics and other programs.

The lawsuit was reported on Tuesday by The New York Post, which said it was filed in State Supreme Court in Nassau County, south of New York City. The lawsuit asks for damages of $100 million and an injunction to prevent the commercial from appearing again.

The commercial first appeared on Feb. 7, during the CBS coverage of the Super Bowl, and is another spot in a series that features talking babies. The commercial marked the debut of a new infant to replace the one that appeared in the previous spots. In the commercial, a baby boy and a baby girl are chatting over a video camera.

He explains he did not call her last night because he was taking care of his portfolio. She asks, suspiciously, “And that milkaholic Lindsay wasn’t over?” The baby boy replies, “Lindsay?” At that point, a second baby girl enters the frame, in front of the boy, and says, “Milk-a-what?” In her lawsuit, Ms. Lohan said the second baby girl was modeled after her because the one-word name “Lindsay” was identified with her.

Pam Erickson, a spokeswoman for E*Trade, wrote in an e-mail message seeking comment about the lawsuit, “We have not yet seen the complaint, so are unable to comment.” The agency for E*Trade is Grey New York, part of the Grey unit of the Grey Group, owned by WPP.

After an e-mail message seeking comment was sent to Owen Dougherty, a spokesman for Grey, he replied, “We never comment on litigation, however unfounded.” An article on Tuesday afternoon on adage.com suggested that Ms. Lohan might have decided to sue because of comments she received on Twitter that criticized the spot and suggested that she take legal action.

The article, however, reported that Ms. Lohan’s subsequent comments on Twitter implied she was not upset about the commercial. The article cited an example of Ms. Lohan writing this reply: “hahahaha vitamin D never tasted so good!”

E*Trade ran two commercials from Grey New York during Super Bowl XLIV and others before and after the game. The spots, including the one over which Ms. Lohan is suing, can be watched on YouTube along with video clips described as outtakes from the spots.

Lindsay Lohan takes swipe at E-Trade babies

(AP) – 1 day ago

MINEOLA, N.Y. — Lindsay Lohan is feuding with the E-Trade babies.

The actress has filed a $100 million lawsuit claiming a television ad for the Wall Street firm that aired during the Super Bowl and Olympics was modeled after her.

Talking babies in the ad engage in chatter that refers to "milkaholic Lindsay." The 23-year-old actress has famously sought substance abuse treatment.

Lohan's name was never mentioned. But her New York lawyer contends that "Lindsay" is an equally recognizable moniker for her client — like that of Oprah or Madonna.

Lohan's legal team is seeking an injunction to stop future airings.

An E-Trade spokeswoman is declining to comment.

She must be bored, because I would have never thought about her when I see the commercial.

Every Lindsay in the world may as well sue them if she's going to be like that.

Celebs. :rolleyes:
