I love the E-Trade baby. Actually I love all adorable babies but that is for another day.
I knew watching the Super Bowl that the adorable half-pint investor would be offering some more advice.
Then a commercial comes on featuring his girlfriend. I nearly died when she asked: “And that milkaholic Lindsay wasn’t over?”
“Lindsay?” he replied followed by another adorable baby popping up to say: “Milk-a-what?”
It was probably my favorite commercial of the Super Bowl. I had tears in my eyes and it wasn’t because my beloved Steelers weren’t in the game.
But apparently Lindsay Lohan wasn’t as impressed. The (I guess at one point she was an actress) is suing E-Trade for $100 million saying the baby was modeled after her and she wants cash for her pain and suffering. According to published reports Lohan’s lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, said the actress has the same single-name recognition as Oprah or Madonna. She is also asking for an injunction to have the spot taken off the air.
Lindsay, according yeahbaby.com (A Web site I have never visited before this blog :)) lists Lindsay as the 162 most popular baby’s name in America.
When I think of Lindsay here is what comes to mind:
A girl with whom I attended grade school.
That chick that skis.
Lindsay Graham, the congressman. He is on television a lot.
I guess Lindsay Lohan is on that list too.
But while watching the television and seeing the E-Trade commercial the only thing that came to my mind is wow that his hysterical.
Ms. Lohan, you are a decent actor. Put your efforts into trying to get a movie role. And leave the funny babies alone.

Great blog Michelle! I love their commercials too. Lohan should spend more time trying to clean up her act instead of trying to strike it rich with e-trade.
