OK, let’s put thin into perspective. There are a lot of people who watch shows like “The Real World”, “Survivor” and “Americas Next Top Model” and think it’s great reality TV. They’re enthralled with “Dancing With The Stars” and “American Idol”. There are people willing to spend hundreds of dollars to see Barbara Streisand or Cher in concert, or a painting with a few color splotches on it, and call it art. In my radio market area, there are two self-important, smug arrogant DJ’s whom I would love to punch squarely in the face, but they’re shows are also the two top rated in a large market.
What do they all have in common with Mr. Noel? They all fill a segment of their particular market with a product which, like it or not, there is a market for. Now, I’m not trying to defend Monster and their business practices, but if it weren’t for the “fans” of their products, their products would cease to exist. If Mr. Noel hadn’t created Monster Cable, it’s likely someone else would have, and they would have people lining up to buy their products. There will always be people out there who’s views of the world differ from yours, mine, ours…etc. and unfortunately, there’s nothing to be done about it.
