Need another piece of evidence that Ms. Lindsay Lohan is considered marketing poison nowadays? Ok, here's one: Turns out that the new Nintendo DS game that's based on the film Mean Girls -- has cropped Lindsay off of the cover art. Still in attendance are Amanda Seyfried, Rachel McAdams, and Lacey Chabert, but even though the game focuses on Lindsay's central character ... her likeness is nowhere to be found.

Could this be because 505 Games is hoping this game will appeal to young girls? And that young girls generally have to get $20 items pre-approved by their parents? And that parents (even fathers) are justifiably hesitant to buy their children ANYthing with the name or face of Lindsay Lohan on it? Could that be why? Or could it be as simple as "We'd have to pay her to re-use the likeness, and we don't feel like it."

6. my question

is why the hell they're releasing this game NOW. It's been what, 5 years? 6 years?

7. Lindsay Lohan always looks as though she is in need of a bath.
