AI Thread Summary
Lindsay Lohan is pursuing a $100 million lawsuit against E-Trade, claiming that an advertisement featuring a baby named "Linda" infringes on her rights due to its similarity to her name. Lohan's lawyer argues that the actress has achieved the same level of single-name recognition as icons like Oprah and Madonna. The discussion highlights skepticism about the lawsuit's validity, with some participants labeling it as self-centered and frivolous. There are comments suggesting that Lohan is merely seeking publicity, and some humorously propose that other celebrities, like Susan Sarandon, could also claim damages based on the name used in the ad. Overall, the conversation reflects a mix of disbelief regarding the lawsuit's merits and commentary on celebrity culture.

Don't EVEN get upset about it. She's just trying to keep her name in the news. "Bad publicity is better than no publicity."
 


She'll win the case, but she still won't be happy with the outcome: she'll find that Etrade was right and her name isn't worth as much as she thinks it is!
 


She'll win the case
How? This lawsuit seems as frivolous as it could possibly be. Susan Sarandon should sue them for suggesting her name. She could say "Why did you suggest Susan as an alternative and not Leroy?" Then I'll have to get involved and complete madness will ensue.
