Monster Madness: Monster Energy Drink's Hired Trademark Trolls Go After Movie Monster
,----[ Quote ]
| Apparently, the monster madness doesn't stop
| there. Andrew points us to the news that that
| Continental Enterprises, on behalf of Hansen's
| and Monster Energy Drink has also threatened a
| working actor who was in a monster movie a few
| years ago, and had a photo taken of himself in
| costume holding a Monster Energy Drink. This
| amusing joke photo is apparently too much for
| the fine folks at Continental Enterprises, who
| insist it's "advertising and/or selling
| products that are confusingly similar to
| Monster Energy Drink" and demand that he cease
| and desist.
