Uh, remember a billion years ago when Lindsay Lohan was suing E-Trade claiming that the reference to a “milkaholic” TALKING BABY named Lindsay in an advertisement was supposed to be making fun of her? And how we all laughed and laughed? Well, as usual, the laughter has died, because e-Trade settled the case (when they should have rested it) and gave Lindsay Lohan actual money for this SHIT. From TMZ:

The terms of the settlement are confidential — but we’re told Lindsay’s team is “very happy” with the results … and sources say Lindsay got some cash out of it.

As we previously reported, Lindsay claimed the stock trading company violated her rights by featuring a baby character named Lindsay who happens to be the “milkaholic” other woman in a baby love triangle.

Lindsay’s high-powered attorney Stephanie Ovadia tells TMZ, “The case between Lindsay and E*Trade has been settled … there is no further comment.”

Seriously, E-Trade? You settled a completely ridiculous and specious lawsuit filed by an unemployable drug addict? Sounds like someone has shorted THEIR BALLS. (“Shorting” is a financial term that means “something, who knows?”) Lame. E-Trade FAIL.

*facepalm*

Thats such BS. I guess now all ads will have to watch what name they use.

Yes that is total BS. But companies face paying a crap load more money to fight the BS lawsuit. It's a lose-lose. Just like Tatuaje settling with Altadis... no way Pete could match Altadis in a lawyer/court battle even though you know for damn sure he wanted to fight those bastards.

Yep, you nailed it. Its just a bunch of BS. I doubt Lindsey got much but Im sure it will be enough to support her coke habits for a few more weeks or so.

And Altadis... 10+ "premium" brands and between all of them they have maybe 1 or 2 cigars I'll actually smoke. They should be embarassed of the product they put out.
