Earlier in the week, word broke about a rally taking place in New York City in support of one of the greatest inspirational icons of a generation. Yes, lovers of La Lohan, a “Free Lindsay” event was rumored to take place Tuesday, July 27 in a location that does suitable justice to Miss Lohan: outside of Beach Bum Tanning, a salon frequented by Lindsay pre-incarceration.
But you may want to postpone any scheduled silk-screening of the jailbird’s face on t-shirts. Tuesday’s gathering was less of an ignition for a slew of “Free Lindsay” protests and more of a shameless self-promotion.
For every homemade sign with a scrawled message of Lindsay-support, there was at least one of Beach Bum’s bright yellow logos and an employee encouraging onlookers to come inside for a tan -- but the blatant publicity stunt didn’t stop there. The tanning salon hired publicity models to hold signs, fake Lindsay supporters to embarrassingly chant “Free Lindsay,” even a “spokesperson” for Beach Bum Tanning who claimed to have a text from Dina Lohan on his cell phone -- “No, seriously guys! She asked me if could score some free tanning oil!” (That is a direct quote from what my imagination tells me was said when asked to show said text).
The reporters and photographers? Also hired and paid for by the salon.
Here’s a video of the crowd’s valiant efforts to fight for the cause that they are clearly passionate about.
Forewarning: Their strong dedication to freeing Lindsay is overwhelming and may be unsuitable for the faint of heart.
Beach Bum’s second strike in shamelessness is trying to milk this feeble publicity stunt. The first strike in shamelessness was coming up with the “Free Lindsay” rally idea in the first place.
While Lindsay finishes serving out her sentence, which has been cut about 75 days short, keep tabs on how she’s doing in jail via Lindsay’s “Twitter account from jail,” delivering updates such as:
“Today I saw all the really vicious prisoners who they keep in Hannibal Lecter masks. I'm gonna call them The Plastics.”
Stay strong, Lindsay!
