Or do you? Here's an excerpt:
According to a Reuters report, a lawyer for Lohan filed the massive suit against E-Trade Financial Corp. in Nassau County, New York, state court on Monday claiming that a female baby character labeled a "milkaholic" and named Lindsay improperly invoked her "likeness, name, characterization and personality" without permission, violating her right of privacy.

Lawyer Stephanie Ovadia — who did not return calls for comment at press time — filed the suit on behalf of the 23-year-old Lohan seeking $50 million in compensatory damages and $50 million of exemplary damages. Ovadia also demanded that E-Trade stop running the ad and turn over all copies to her.

Read the full article here, and make your own decision. The Ad Agency claims they made it based on someone from their own firm.

And here's the commercial itself. What do you think?

Funny commercial. Never tho't of Lindsay Lohan tho ... I think it's indulgent of her to try & connect herself to that commercial. Gimme a break. $50 mil? Sounds like desperation to me.
