I thought one needed permission to use someones words for commercial purposes, particularly when profit is the goal?

Let's hope Engadget looks as kindly upon Monster's totally out-of-context ripoff of this quote for a purely profit motivated advertising campaign as Monster does for small businesses that inadvertently use a common word in their company names.

IOW, I hope they sue the bahstads.

So if I made a 5lb cookie and called it Monster Cookie, I'll probably get sued.

I wonder how long the Cookie Monster is going to be left alone.

The Cookie Monster precedes Monster cable. There is no case there. Plus that would be really bad publicity. We are talking national news.

That was way too serious a post given the context... but I get your point... Maybe I'm spending too much time in the Steam Vent...

Seriously, this company needs to be ***** slapped and taken down a notch. This company reminds me of the a rich prick in high school who's daddy just hands him money who thinks he is the the king of the world but everybody hates him. Wouldn't be surprised if this was Noel Lee in high school

Man I can't wait to read the article, but I couldn't wait to get in on the *onster bashing... Didn't want to spell that word just incase they wanted to sue me too

What a worthless company.
