I agree, why pollute the already toxic air we all breath by burning
these cables.

Post a video of you recycling the cable for CASH, then post that on
youtube instead.

My favorite bit:

Throwing them out won't do a thing to harm Monster.  Better to put them
on ebay for dirt cheap and cost Monster a sale.

They're not Monster Cable anymore, they changed their name to "Bully

I didn't know better at that time... Never bought any Monster after I
discovered BJC

There are some people out there now who will have some campfires where
they burn all their Monster cables and broadcast it on YouTube, sounds
like a good idea to me...

[slim] Throw out all your Monster stuff

2008-04-13 Thread haraldo

Monster Cable Sues Blue Jeans Cable.

Monster Cable has issued a Cease-and-Desist order to Blue Jeans Cable
(Tartan Cable) over analogue cable connectors.

This is another example of the great evil empire trying to roll over
small companies.

I have bought many of my cables from BJC. Fantastic guys, Fantastic
Service, Worldwide delivery in less than a week.
Generally, I get my stuff to Norway in 5 days!!!

I'm following up and throwing out all my Monster stuff, anybody else?
