Lindsay Lohan is suing online share-trading firm E-Trade for allegedly stealing her identity in an advert about a talking baby called Lindsay who's a 'milkaholic'. Heckerspray took the news like this: For claiming that a drunk baby stole her identity, you might assume that Lindsay Lohan has lost her marbles � but hear her out. After all, it's not as if she's suing E-Trade for a hopelessly inflated, Dr Evil-style sum of money that would instantly make you question her basic relationship with reality, is it? What? She's suing E-Trade for $100 million? Okaaaay. They go on to argue, "If the baby really was modeled on Lindsay Lohan, then it wouldn't really look like a baby � it'd look like a structurally-compromised Terrahawk puppet, have the voice of Dr Claw from Inspector Gadget, chainsmoke and often forget to wear knickers in public. But it didn't. It looked like a baby." more fun including the ad here. Also consider that Lindsay is the #380th most popular name in United States according to this.
