Monster Cables - A Real Monster

There's nothing quite as satisfying as taking down a bully.  Please join me in never ever ever making the mistake of purchasing anything from Monster Cables (the super expensive cables you have no doubt seen at Best Buy).  Why?  They seem to think it's okay to sue anybody with "Monster" in their name, even if it is a putt-putt course.  This is apparently par for the course with them if you'll excuse the pun, as they've done this to other companies in the past.  If you happen to live near Monster Minigolf, you can donate to their legal defense and get a coupon.  Just another reason to hate lawyers and stupid corporations.

Our litigious society is INSANE. I'm constantly astonished at things that make it to court! And my dad is an attorney!

Thanks for reading the first post of my blog...do I know you from OKC? Forgive me if so...I have a 4 year old and a 4 month old and can only remember the last 4 seconds of my life. Have a great weekend!

I don't know you. A coworker of mine, Sean, recommended your blog. Good luck with it.
