Lindsay Lohan…too big for our world?

Cher. Madonna. Bono. Lindsay? One of the most popular commercials during the Super Bowl telecast came courtesy of E-Trade Financial Corporation, which has used babies in it’s successful advertising campaign for years. In the spot in question, a baby boy apologizes to his girlfriend via web cam for not calling her the night before because he was on E-Trade. The girlfriend asks if “that milkaholic Lindsay was over?” At that moment, another baby girl leans into the picture and asks “Milk-a-what?”

Apparently the joke didn’t go over well with Lindsay Lohan, who is suing E-Trade for $100 million, claiming the “milkaholic” girl was modeled after her. Not sure if I missed something, but I don’t think Lindsay Lohan has achieved the “one name fame” that she thinks she has. In fact, when I hear “Lindsay” I think of olives (red can, black lettering…mmm) on the supermarket shelf.

What’s interesting about this case is that, for Lohan to win, she will have to convince a jury that not only is she a huge lush, but that everyone in the world knows it. Let’s see…what I know about Lindsay Lohan:

1. “The Parent Trap”
2. She has been nicknamed “firecrotch.”
3. She used to date Wilmer Vilderamma
4. “She” once showed up in an episode of “Family Guy” doing a naked crab walk.

Too bad the milkaholic couldn’t have been named Firecrotch!
