<p>Just heard on the news that Lindsay Lohan is suing E-trade for the commercial where the little baby has a “milkaholic” friend named “Lindsay” ;
Lohan is claiming that “like Oprah, everybody associates the name, Lindsay, with her”…</p>
<p>this is my laugh of the day…how about yours?</p>
<p>Seems like the expert testimony in the litigation would be pretty depressing for her…no honey, according to our statistics, everyone is NOT thinking of you.</p>
<p>I never thought of her when I saw that ad. And when I hear “Lindsay” in general, I don’t automatically think of her. It just isn’t a distinctive enough name, unlike, say, Britney. If a commercial gave a character that name, I might think the reference was intentional.</p>
<p>I’ve never seen the ad. Is there any likeness to her physically? </p>
<p>If her complaint is merely the name, that is ridiculous! The complaint says, “Why didn’t they use the name Susan?” </p>
<p>My name is Susan. I am 53. In my generation, Susan was one of the most popular names (actually my HS took a poll, and Susan had the most numbers in the class). Likewise, Lindsay is one of the most popular names of Lindsay Lohan’s generation. She MIGHT have a point if she had a name like OPRAH, LOL. Yes, Oprah is referred to without her last name and people know who you mean. But Lindsay is so common of a name for young women in their 20s, that it could be ANYONE!!! So, Ms. Lohan, get a grip!</p>
<p>That would be like Jennifer Lopez complaining about an ad using the name “Jennfer”…ha ha. If the ad said, “JLo”, she’d have a point. Jennifer? No way. Likewise, with Lindsay.</p>
<p>I just watched the video. In no way would I have ever had a thought about Lindsay Lohan when watching that!! They used a name that is common for young women. Could have been Jessica, Jennifer, Lindsay, Sarah, Ashley, Nicole, Brittany, Amanda…would have had the same effect.</p>
<p>(come to think of that, there are several stars in that age range with those names too)</p>
<p>“Is there any likeness to her physically?” soozievt asked.</p>
<p>I have no idea what Lindsay Lohan looks like, but my son says she was arrested for DUI, so she must be old enough to drive; the girl in the commercial is a baby.</p>
