E-Trade responds to Lindsay Lohan’s spurious lawsuit against them for their milkaholic baby commercial by filing legal paperwork filled with blog quotes about how Lindsay stinks. I know it’s only 2010, but I think it is pretty fair to say: Trial Of The Century.

It’s all a viral marketing scheme for “I Know Who Defamed Me.”
“She thinks she’s the poo?” Are we saying this now?
Yes, of course we are.
LiLo’s the poo, so take a big whiff.
Thanks, Bring It On.
Another case of ‘can’t both sides lose?’
Enough, enough! You guys can both be the worst!
I hear E-Trade even submitted a grainy camera phone video of an alleged Lindsey Lohan sucking on a pacifier. Turns out it was a fake tho.
E-Trade is definitely playing dirty here, you guys.
Wait, are anonymous internet comments taken seriously as evidence? Where’s the Legalgum folks?
This will serve as a valuable precedent for the case of the Garbage Monsters of America vs. Kesha Sebert
Kesha has a last name? This means she is someone’s child. I thought she’d spawned in a mud puddle somewhere. My mind is being blown left and right today.
Since you asked, the statements in a motion to dismiss (like that filed by e-trade) are not subject to the rules of evidence that are applied at trial. I don’t practice in NY (where this waste of time was filed) but, where I practice, statements in such a pleading are subject only to good faith and reasonable inquiry standards. Even with the lower standards, however, I would not be comfortable putting an internet comment into a pleading except maybe where the comment was posted by one of the parties.
I haven’t read e-trade’s pleading, but if you’re seriously curious about what they’re trying to accomplish by showing that Lindsay doesn’t live in Long Island, read the wikipedia entry for “forum non conveniens”. The more you know.
Yes, I’ll be marking this down as time spent on pro bono work.
Can’t wait for the E*Trade baby to start walking and falling all over the place. The baby isn’t wasted, it’s just clumsy!
“Lohan is “a pot-stirring, lazy, irresponsible, disrespectful little drama queen,” the papers — filed in Nassau County Supreme Court — quote one on-line commenter as saying.”
I would like to direct the attention of the court to exhibit A, the DVD version of the Disney movie “Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen”, starring Miss Lohan.
For a full second I thought that quote was saying that Lindsay Lohan liquefied pot and stirred it, like she was some hardcore drug user. Then I realized there was a form of expression in there that I hadn’t heard in AGES. God. I’m getting to be as old as Andy Rooney.
“Who’s Lindsay Lohan?”

I think I want an E-Trade account now. And hopefully this will start a precedent where corporations cater to my wants and needs by defaming garbage celebrities for profit.
Someone needs to tell Lindsay that those E-Trade babies aren’t real.
