E*TRADE Baby Can't Say 'Lindsay' Or 'Milkaholic'

http://www.radaronline.com/sites/radaronline.com/files/imagecache/350width/wenn5560248_1.jpgThose fun folks at E*TRADE who've created all those fun TV spots featuring chatty babies, are now letting you build your own talking message.

Here's the catch: there are two words that are not permitted to come out of the football helmet-wearing baby's mouth: "Lindsay" and "Milkaholic," Radar Online reports.

The ban is a result of the settlement last year between Lindsay Lohan and the investment giant. It sprung out of a spot that had one of the talking babies refer to his girlfriend Lindsay as a "milkaholic."

Lohan sued the investment giant, alleging it defamed her. It was resolved out-of-court last September, with her attorney Stephanie Ovadia telling Radar Online exclusively, "We've settled with E*TRADE."

Lohan supporters consider the E*TRADE "Lindsay" ban a victory; that even with felony theft charges looming over her, sometimes even small victories matter.

Radar Online reached out to Ovadia for comment, but the lawyer declined.
