The execs at Monster Energy have lost their f*cking mind. Last wekk, I posted an article about how they were suing a developer for a game called Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals.

Well, if that's not insane enough, now they're going for no others than Nintendo with Pokemon and Capcom with Monster Hunter:

It's worth keeping in mind that you can't trademark a common word like monster, and that a quick Google search reveals that Monster Energy was founded in 2002 while the first Pokemon game launched in 1996.

I don't know what they're expecting to get from all this besides bad publicity and paying hundreds of thousands if not millions in legal fees once they lose.
