Lindsay Lohan snubbed on the cover of Mean Girls DS photo

Talk about Mean! The girl that made Mean Girls was totally snubbed on the cover of Nintendo DS game Mean Girls. Well...yeah, if you want to get technical like Samit did, she wasn't really a Mean Girl.

Samit actually said this: "Technically, Lohan's character wasn't one of The Plastics -- i.e., the titular Mean Girls."

You know things are bad in your career if they don't put you on the licensed game box!

So what's the real reason why Lohan is missing from the game's cover? Who cares! The real question here has to do with the release of the game. Why is there even a Mean Girls videogame?

I was going to 'shop in some Lohan on this cover, but I think you'd do a better job. Let's see it.

The best thing about that movie was Rachel McAdams anyways. C'mon, you know you're going to play her as soon you get it.

I hate to burst Dale's bubble: but the fact that Lohan isn't on the cover or in the game means that they didn't have the money to license her likeness for the game, or she didn't give approval for it. Thats standard practice with these sort of things: lesser known actors usually have no clause in their contract that they can negotiate the use of their likeness in a videogame of the movie. Well known actors always have this.

That she's not in there speaks volumes about her career indeed. But not that its bad.

If the game is the same as the one on Big Fish, it's a pretty simple Puzzle Quest clone. Actually not that bad.

Technically Lohan's character became a Plastic by the end. Albeit for a brief period of time. SPOILARZZZZZ.

@Andokean:
You really think Rachel McAdams is a "lesser known actress" not to have a clause like that, or a really cheap license?? Don't think so, it's all about leaving Lohan out cause of her career. And yes, I also demand a Jim Sterling review for this, ASAP kthxbai

Hate to burst some of your bubbles, but this isn't a new game, it's quite old. So the "Why now?" comments are actually unnecessary.

also have you seen Lindsay Lohan theses days she doesn't do anything but party, no movies just partying. I think if they were really gonna snub her they could shoop in her sister Ally, Momma Lohan hasn't whored her out too much, yet.

This will go on the back of the box: "Why should Caesar get to stomp around like a giant, while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? What's so great about Caesar? Hm? Brutus is just as cute as Caesar. Brutus is just as smart as Caesar. People totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar. And when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody, huh? Because that's not what Rome is about. We should totally just *stab* Caesar!"

Also, 4-player coop!!

The Lohan image was caught in Photoshop snorting a line of coke off an animated gif's corner.
