A Not So Funny Lawyer Joke

Lindsay Lohan and her lawyers must be absolutely MAD. The wisdom found in Shakespeare’s “Richard III” couldn’t be more appropriate when one considers what the Hollywood archetypal bimbo and her counsel seek to accomplish. She got her feelings hurt and for her pain and suffering, the sheer humiliation she is entitled to $100 million dollars. Yes ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS!!!!

The financial services company, E*Trade has an ad series of talking babies much like “Look Who’s Talking” movies. In an ad which ran during the Super Bowl, the male baby is talking to his irritated girlfriend who after hearing his bragging questions, “And that milkaholic Lindsey wasn’t over?” To which the male character questions, “Lindsey?” Then a female baby pops up in front of him asking, “Milk-a-WHAT?”

Oops, was the baby, a Lindsey or a Lindsay?

The Lohan contention is that she is so unbelievably famous that the name “Lindsay” can only refer to her and her alone as if she had some brand name claim on the name like “Cher,” “Madonna,” or “Monique.”

Her lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, contends:

“Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit,"

"They used the name Lindsay. They're using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn't they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody's talking about it and saying it's Lindsay Lohan."

Look at the ad, if you haven’t seen it and decide for yourself. This makes you think of Lindsay Lohan? Even in the wild event that it did, on what basis do we know of Lindsay Lohan, her remarkable acting skill? Can anyone name her works? How about how many times she’s been locked up for drunken behavior?

If justice is served in this case, the penalties would be on Lohan and her lawyers. Fortune should be handsomely paid for having the audacity of using the legal system to pursue such a ridiculous and frivolous lawsuit.

So we conclude in quoting the memorable line from Shakespeare’s “Richard III.”

“Kill all the lawyers.”

A 2010 addition could be something to the effect that Lindsey Lohan should be put to sleep.
