Are we sure Noel Lee doesn't have a menstrual cycle?
He has a "Monster-all" cycle.

Another of the "any publicity is good publicity" quotes is "all PR is good PR as long as you get my name spelled right." I have little respect for Monster Cable due to the cost/quality ratio of their product, their marketing tactics, and their behavior in respect to "protecting" their name.

Amusing timing.

Just yesterday I ordered a couple pairs of interconnects from Blue Jeans Cables . They're replacing the last set of old Monster interconnects in my system that I bought eons ago before I knew any better. ;\)

Perhaps it's time for a bonfire.

That is an awesome read. Little did they know that he was a lawyer before starting Blue Jeans Cable \:\) .

Yes it is. Especially their response to Monster.

BJC should be a model for any company threatened by Monster. I started buying from BJC because of their quality & reputation. When this Monster BS happened to them, it only hardened my resolve to support them and to never buy another Monster product nor encourage anyone else to ever again.

If I want it cheap and functional, it's from Monoprice. If I want to spend a little more for something of a bit higher quality, it comes from BJC. Period.

Monster can kiss my grits.

I have always been a consumer that likes to support companies that have sound and ethical business practices as well as excellent products. Same thing goes with supporting independent/ local companies. I don't mind paying a little more either.
