Those 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," RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

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 RadarOnline.com 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.

RadarOnline.com reached out to Ovadia for comment, but the lawyer declined.

All this time, Lindsay's supporters always say "Lindsay won the E*trade suit". It turns out she didn't win anything. They settled. That means there could have been NO money involved. E*trade could have agreed to not use her name, that's it!

I'm sure she got some compensation otherwise they wouldn't have agreed to stop using her name or the "milkaholic" term. Anyway Lindsay has much bigger problems than talking babies now and it was only 18 days until Feb 25th :-(

Camp Lohan picks on babies. Disgraceful, Lindsay is the one who defames herself.

E-Trade should have nutted up and told Miss Lohan, they didn't say Lilo, that hers is a common name, milkaholic is funny in the context of the commercial, and use the Go Ahead, Make My Day - prove that you aren't an alcoholic.

How very egotistical of her. Is the name "Lindsay" a TM or something?

Kleptoholic. What a nut case to assume she owns a first name or should be offended at the word "milkoholic?"
Bring the baby back and countersue.

How could Lindsay sue based on defamation? Any implication to this ad is truth.
