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.

I swear most CEO's these days are snorting crack or on meth, because they are all seemingly coming out with such crazy shit, from Sony to Atari to SE, to Ubisoft, Konami, Monster, etc, list just goes on. 

Are there even college/Uni courses on being an executive/CEO?, because if not, I think it's time that one be made, because this should not be happening at all to all these companies, it's straight up crazy and bad behaviour. 

Please, they teach political science at college but, do we have better polititians now? Nope. Imagine what kind of sociopath we could from such a degree about teaching CEOs. You could bet your ass that customer satisfaction would be the last of the subjects taught in such course.

My wonder is what is Coca Cola doing about it since Monster Energy is one of their many brands. Are they ok with that attitude and the factthat it can damage its business?

But well, I don't drink energy drinks, never had, but if I ever have the need to take one, I know what brand I won't get.
