Brian is the Radioshack manager from that thread.



no he's not. he's the mis-informed ex-RS employee. keep your lemmings straight, dave.



Yes I used to work for RS. But we never sold Monster when I was there. Nor will they be carrying it for a long time here in Canada. I now work the #1 retailer for Monster in the world, Futureshop. We also sell a small amount of Acoustic Research also.

So most of you are saying that you don't buy Monster cables because of marketing "hype". I for one have yet to ever see a monster TV, radio or print advertisement here in Canada. And its a Canadian company that's the #1 retailer of Monster. That means only two things: 1)Sales people here believe in it 2) Lots of word of mouth from customers.

If you don't like companies that have aggressive advertising then you can't shop anywhere. Lets make a list of other companies that do the same thing.

Wal-Mart
Circuit City
Best Buy
Futureshop
Johnson & Johnson companies (talk about a huge company)
Progressive Insurance (I can't go through one TV show from the US without seeing at least 3 commercials)
Ford
GM
Chrysler
Every single television station
Sony
Panasonic
LG
Sprint (telephone services)
Cingular
Covergirl
Dell (!!)
Radioshack
Rogers (Canadian communications giant, cable, internet, wireless)
GAP
Old Navy
McDonalds
Burger King
A&W
Wendy's
AT&T

The list can go on forever. All the big companies spend just a much on advertising "hype".

This is getting ridiculous. If you don't like a company'sproduct or the way the company works, keep on shopping somewhere and keep it to your self.
