Today's Apocalypse Sign: Milk A What???

Before I get started I want to give a shout out to my very first two followers: Pat Tillett and TS Hendrick. Thanks guys for getting me off the starting line. To all who read, please go give them a try.

Okay, you've seen them, you love them...I'm talking about the talking baby E-Trade commercials. This whole series is marketing genius and I seriously do not get tired of the majority of them.

Now outta the friggin' blue some over-paid under-worked bitch (hot though she may be) is trying to put a damper on MY little bit of commercial enjoyment.

Here is the commercial that started all this:




Seriously, I had not thought of Lindsay Lohan in a hundred days...and didn't when I saw this commercial. I laughed my ass off for the shear genius of this 30-second masterpiece!

I am now believing the tag line on this picture (and I hadn't thought of this angle either):

I believe this article says everything there is to say:

Quote published on the Marketing Pilgram website:

Have you heard of the Streisand effect?

Long story short, in 2003 Barbra Streisand sued a photographer for $50 million because he took photos of her home. She said the photographs invaded her privacy. Unfortunately for her, the rest of the world had no clue of the existence of these photographs until after she filed the lawsuit. Filing the lawsuit created a greater issue than if she had just kept quiet.

Enter Lindsay Lohan.

The almost popular, but now notsomuch, actress is suing E-Trade for, get this, $100 million for naming one of its TV babies “Lindsay.” Apparently, Miss Lohan believes that she has obtained “single name” status–like Madonna or Oprah–and that everyone that sees the milkaholic manboy-stealer will instantly think of her–and that will ruin her stellar reputation.

Says Lohan’s lawyer:

“They used the name Lindsay,” Ovadia said. “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.” Ovadia wants an injunction to force the spot off the air, and the Lindsay camp wants every last copy of the commercial

Actually, no one was talking about Lindsay Lohan, until this lawsuit. Oh wait, maybe that’s the point. No one was talking about you, so file a $100M lawsuit and get everyone talking about you again!

Alternatively, why not actually make a movie that we think is good?

I could ramble on for a while longer but when I read THAT it was like I had written it or was inside the head of whoever did write it. It is succint and dead on point.

I think two things are sure to come of this:

1) She will not get a dime.

2) She will not get a movie deal.

Since when does being an almost has-been entitle one to file the ultimate frivolous lawsuit...oh wait, this is Hollywood we are talking about and of course all bets are off. The mockery that was made of this whole ordeal on the Today Show this morning was a waste of breath and airtime...and MY time...bitch!
