If the real itinerary is the latter, without a doubt they are doing a good job since people are falling prey for these copies of the acclaimed documentary costing $4.95 for a Full Screen Online for broadband users.
Realistically, no matter what claims are made, it would all depend on the consumer if he is to believe in such. But if the ploy is indeed a new way of strategic marketing, this early it can be told, they are doing a good damn job!
Lindsay Lohan would be best remembered to have started her career on the hit 1998 movie The Parent Trap where she played a dual role of twin sisters trying to get their parents back together again. A promising child star at that time, Lohan made a good account for herself which signaled her rise to stardom on the big screen. She eventually made a couple of movies as well like Freaky Friday, Mean Girls, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and Herbie Fully Loaded. She is among the top pop idols that most teenagers look towards to today.
To date, Lohan has been the center of a couple of controversies and has been headlining almost all the celebrity section of leading gossip magazines and newspapers. All grown up now, she has been linked to several actors and has without a doubt made her mark as one of the more popular icons of the celebrity industry.

A proposed law has the bloggers and iPod users agitated. Senator Carl Kruger’s bill proposes that anyone using an iPod or similar music player, Blackberry or mobile phones, portable game players or any electronic gadget of the like at crosswalks should be fined $100. The senator says that this bill was triggered by the death of three pedestrians after they stepped off the curb without checking the street since they were distracted by their portable entertainment gadget.
While everyone agrees that the senator has good intentions, many feel that his bill should not become law. Can you imagine the police trying to stop every person who uses one of the mentioned devices? It is a law that punishes the many because a few do not use common sense.
Rather than make this a law, Michael Rose of New York, who blogs at Tuaw.com, the Unofficial Apple Blog, suggests that they put together a targeted PR campaign to remind users of these gadgets to “‘Turn down & tune in’ while navigating the mean streets”. Other bloggers point out that pedestrians have right of way no matter what, whether they are using any of the types of gadgets listed above or not.
