Apparently Lindsay Lohan is the only person with the name "Lindsay". Otherwise the fact that she's suing E-Trade for their "milkaholic" commercial would be completely ludicrous, right? Right?
Her lawyer states that "Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit. 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."
Subliminal message? Are you serious? And if they used Susan, wouldn't Susan Sarandon or Susan Boyle have a mind to sue? What does Lindsay Lohan's lawyer have against the Susans of the world? And should all commercials use made-up names that don't yet exist? And if someone starts using it, retire the commercial? E-Trade says they "just used a popular baby name that happened to be the name of someone on the account team." That sounds pretty reasonable. The unresonable party is a washed-up actress seeking $100 million in damages for a commercial saying her name. Sorry, Lindsay. Loved you in Mean Girls and you were decent in Freaky Friday, but really. Are you serious?
