As if our warped society was not litigious enough



Monster Cable, a company that makes high-performance audio and visual cables, is at war.

The Brisbane, Calif.-based company has filed trademark lawsuits across the country against companies using the word "monster." Discovery Channel has felt Monster's wrath for its show "Monster Garage." Bally Gaming is under Monster's glare because of its Monster slot machine. Monster sued Walt Disney Co., maker of the animated flick "Monsters, Inc." Even the Chicago Bears, a.k.a. "The Monsters of the Midway," once were eyed by Monster...........
