Random Pop Culture Rant

Okay, so I came across this article today about Lindsay Lohan suing E-Trade for $100 million big ones over this HA-larious commercial that first aired during the Super Bowl:

Seriously? It's not like she's a Madonna... or a Beyonce... or even a Pee-wee Herman. If one of those names were used, the whole country would know without question whom it was about. To be honest, when I saw this commercial I laughed, and didn't give Lindsay Lohan a second thought (or first thought for that matter).

So, now it's time to play a game called: What's the MOTIVE behind the craziness?

Possibility #1 - Is she strapped for cash and looking for some quick dough?

Possibility #2 - Does she have documentation to prove that every Lindsay reference in the world is directed at her?

Possibility #3 - Underneath her exterior, is she actually a milkaholic, boyfriend stealing baby... and her dubious cover is blown?

Possibility #4 (Conspiracy Theory Twist) - Is it a big publicity stunt for all the players involved?

Possibility #5 (Conspiracy Theory Twist Two) - Have aliens infiltrated Hollywood?

Possibility #6 - Ummm... who cares?

The debate is open. Tell me, do you have a conspiracy theory of your own? Are you on team Lohan, team E-Trade, or team who cares? Inquiring minds want to know...

Why would Lohan think that referred to her in some way? She has got to have one humungous ego!!; March 9, 2010 at 9:03 PM
Anonymous said...: Aliens have definitely infiltrated Hollywood. That's the only way to explain the rumor I heard that they want to do a remake of the Wizard of Oz.

On the Lohan front. Even though I had seen this commercial a few times I had to watch the clip again because I couldn't remember any reference to Lindsay Lohan. Then I watched and realized that there wasn't. I wonder if there was anyone besides her that made this assumption about the commercial.; March 9, 2010 at 9:15 PM

JennyMac said...: This post is hilarious...

and I think after one allegedly ingests copious amounts of drugs, one becomes a bit paranoid. lol.; March 10, 2010 at 10:09 AM
Amy Holder said...: I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees how absurd this is!

JennyMac - Paranoia is definitely a good theory!; March 10, 2010 at 12:21 PM
Claire Dawn said...: I've seen that ad a million times and thought it was hilarious. And when you said LL was suing, I couldn't even think about why.

I think this brings up the issue of pointless sueing. All those people who sue based on the most tenuous connection ever.; March 10, 2010 at 11:12 PM
Amy Holder said...: I agree, Claire! Some people are sue-happy... they'll grasp at any possible lawsuit (however ridiculous it may be) for the chance to make some money or get some attention. Crazy McCrazy is all I have to say.

And that add is hilarious - how could you not love it? Even if your name is Lindsay...; March 11, 2010 at 12:57 AM
YA Book Queen said...: Ha, I can't believe she's even suing E-Trade. Lindsay's such a common name, and she apparently thinks that all Lindsay references means her? But hey, maybe they did mean her...

Thanks for the amusing post! :D; March 13, 2010 at 6:21 PM
Amy Holder said...: Lea - glad you were amused by it! I couldn't let the craziness slip by without putting up a post about it. :); March 14, 2010 at 10:31 PM
Unknown said...: I am team "who cares" but I LOVE those commercials! They crack me up no matter how many times they come on. :); March 17, 2010 at 9:13 PM
Amy Holder said...: Those commercials crack me up too! How could anyone think they're malicious?!; March 25, 2010 at 12:54 AM
