Lindsay used in a newspaper ad

A mug shot of Lindsay Lohan was used in a full-page advertisement in USA Today by the American Beverage Institute. The newspaper hosted an ad about ignition interlock devices that are used to keep impaired drivers off the road, stating it’s a good idea for the star, but an idea for men and women in the industry.

Lindsay has contacted her legal team after discovering this, and had her attorney, Blair Berk, issue a statement to TMZ.

“USA TODAY is idiotic for running such an irresponsible advertisement, suggesting that drinking and driving is some kind of American “tradition” we should protect. Not identifying that this ad was paid for by the liquor industry is profoundly reckless.

Drunk, old, white businessmen, drunk cougars out for girls night out, and drunk wedding parties should be kept off the roads of America. Lindsay Lohan fully endorses ignition interlock devices that have been well-proven to save lives.”
