Lindsay Lohan’s lawyers blast USA Today over drunk-driving ad

Lindsay Lohan’s lawyers have blasted the USA Today newspaper over the use of the actress’ image in a drunk-driving ad.
“USA Today is idiotic to run such an irresponsible advertisement suggesting that drinking and driving is some kind of American ‘tradition’ we should protect,” Lohan’s lawyer Blair Berk said in a statement. “Not identifying that this ad was paid for by the liquor and restaurant industries is profoundly reckless.
“Drunk white businessmen, drunk housewives out for girls night out and drunk wedding parties should be kept off the roads of America,” Berk continued. “Lindsay Lohan fully endorses ignition interlock devices, which have been well-proven to save lives.”
