8 Ways To Celebrate Valentine's Day Without Going Broke
The burning question: Will the "But I'm a one-name wonder!" defense work!?Headline-hogging Lindsay Lohan just filed a $100 million lawsuit over an E-trade ad that ran during the Super Bowl -- and mentioned a woman with her first name.
In the commercial, one in a series starring babies who play the stock market, a "boy" apologizes to his "girlfriend" for not calling the night before, reports the New York Post.
"And that milk-aholic Lindsay wasn't over?" retorts his suspicious pint-size squeeze.
Smackdown! Linds's lawyer says her client has the same one-name recognition as Madonna and Oprah, and the company used her name and characterization without her consent. E-trade says, "Oh yeah? Well, their account team has an employee named Lindsay, and anyway, it's not exactly an out-of-the-ordinary baby name."
Now you get to play judge and jury: The video's after the jump.

She needs to get over herself!! This was/is THE funniest commercial!! Quite doubtful anyone even thought of her when the name was said!! I honestly hope her pathetic "lawsuit" goes nowhere!! The whole thing makes her look stupid.

Her argument is that she is REALLY FAMOUS and just her first name is easily recognizable. Just like Madonna or Britney. She thinks that they were using her as a spokes person. Um first off she is not as famous as these women who are actually doing something. When was the last time she did anything besides getting banned from fashion week for Bad publicity. Oh maybe it was a straight to video movie! Sorry to break it to you Lindsey Lohan but the verdict is out and you are no longer relevent or profitable. I and many other people didnt think of you when watching this advertisement. sorry.

WOW...You are probably one of the few people,and i do mean FEW out of the millions who watched that ad during the super bowl and immediately thought of Lindsey Lohan.You totally forgot about her you said,not a surprise as nobody in hollywood wants to work with her or deal with her as she is an insurance liability and hasn't had any work in a very long time by the Film industries time table,do the few of you people made quite a quantum leap to indentify that baby as her!She's not going to see dime one from that lawsuit,she is desperate for money.There are so many party girls named lindsey in the US so she has such a huge ego to think all that was about her and for the few of you people to support her logic is insane...

Um... My name is Lindsay and I'm older than this Lohan, therefore I had the name first. I think that all of the other Lindsays (and, okay, the Lindseys too) should get together for a class action suit to get *her* to change her name. Loopy Lusthound, perhaps.

Is this serious?Is she serious?!?!Wow what an ego...So in her mind everytime the name "Lindsey" appears anywhere in any form is referring to HER and ONLY her? I take it al the royalties from "Mean Girls" and "Herbie" have all dried up just like her career...My theory is that this little party queen has blown through every cent that she has made,I'll bet that why her mother has pushed her lil' sister into the limelight(witth little success to score more cash so that she can continue to hold "court" with her high society peers to look like a freakin' queen at the exspense of her daughters.
And Lindsey,desperate for more money to keep the party going has been looking for anything to use to get more money as Hollywood has shut her out..She won't get $100 million,and she knows it and she is betting on getting some kind of settlement,which she won't get either.The judge will take one look at this case and pee their pants during a fit of laughter as this is beyond stupid and a pathetic joke.There are plenty of girls in this country with that name who have the same party girl lifestyle.That girl needs to wake up and accept the fact that the party is over for her and that she once again is just private civilian like the rest of us.SO get over yourself honey,your career is done like dinner.. :(

she wants $100M? rofl....why didn't she just sue for a billion
nice try crack head...whether the commercial was referring to her or not, she is a NOBODY. If she says no to crack then she might be able to continue working and EARN a 100M. The amount she's suing for proves her a$s is broke so this is a nice chance for her to hit the lotto. *We all want her to go to rehab but she said no no no*

I love the ad. The name, Lindsey could be anyone and not necessarily Lindsey Lohan. Why is she being paranoid? Does she really think that she is an "alcoholic'? and if so, then you just told on yourself about drinking. When have you ever known the tabloids or the news media to Ms. Lohan by her first name? Get over it Ms. Lohan, the ad isn't about you but could be about anyone with the name Lindsey.
