Please give a buck to fight a total FWD
« on: December 04, 2008, 02:53:17 AM »
Hey FOT's:

Do you hate injustice, bullying, frivolous lawsuits, and stupidity?

Do you get teary-eyed at the Astrodome Scene of "Bad News Bears in Breaking Training?" 

Would you give one measly dollar to help a couple who built their own business defend themselves from a litigious jerk?  How about two or three dollars?

Here are a few links to check out:

It's high time to stand up and say "I'm Mad As Hell And I'm Not Going To Take It Anymore!"
Please feel free to pass the word on and repost to other boards and sites.

Dollar sent. After reading the lengthy case vs 'monster.biz' and seeing how they backed down, it shows the case can be won. This kind of thing makes me actually mad as hell.

edit: This company is lawsuit crazy! Cases pending with Monster Cable as plaintiff or defendant. They're suing the Red Sox for having a 'Monster Dog'!

 I've refused to buy any of the overpriced crap Monster Cables sells for this very reason.

 On an unrelated note, I'm launching my own product line: Crucial Cables™.

Stan,  we couldn't even be bothered to care that there was ANOTHER BAND with the exact same name, much less that company that sells computer memory!

Good luck with that cable company.  I'll be looking for a sponsorship.
