Noel Lee Is Not an Enormous Douche, Says Noel Lee

December 16, 2008 by Dave Kay



Noel Lee, the self described "Head Monster" of Monster Cable, took a break from making two million dollars a second to plead the case that: A. he is not an enormous douche, and B. Monster Cable is not some kind of faceless, heartless, soulless marketing empire bent on suing everyone who's even read the word monster out of existence.



Apparently Mr. Lee thinks Monster is still a small company, and he's still one of the little guys. I didn't know the definition of "little guy" was changed to include owning your own football stadium, or treating your top hucksters (read: sales people) to joy rides in your Ferraris, or that "fair price" means 2000% markup.

The video was also recorded during Monster Cable Monster opposite day, where phrases like "we don't have a lot of money" and "we don't like to sue" actually mean "we have buckets of money" and "our lawyers are chomping at the bit like rabid dogs". Mr. Lee apparently believes that Monster Mini-golf is trying to take over the country, and must be stopped. Why he felt the need to sue over Monster's Inc., Monster Jobs, Monster House and Garage, etc, or threaten to sue Tartan/Blue Jeans Cable for their completely ordinary looking RCA connectors went unexplained.

or when they sued Monster Vintage clothing...

Yeah the list goes on and on. Monster Cable is like those IP companies that do nothing but file patent infringement lawsuits, except instead of patents, they just go around collecting licensing fees from companies who have no wish to go to court. Monster will threaten to sue anyone and everyone they think they can make a quick buck from, regardless of how little the victim has to do with making cables.

Douche bag extraordinaire!

I think he deserves the John Edward biggest douche in the universe award. As much as I generally dislike Dr. Bose, at least his company doesn't pull this kind of shit.

And despite what was said in the video about MC being "not the most litigious company in the world", I don't remember any trademark battles between Amazon.com and Audioquest (or the country of Brazil) for use of the word Amazon.

I know Noel Lee and he has the largest ego I have ever seen. He thinks he owns the Monster name. He will do anything to put a buck in his pocket. I hope all this lawsuit stuff opens peoples eyes to what kind of a company he really runs. Very average, overpriced product in my opinion. Just as bad as bose.

It doesn't look like he is doing himself any favors with that video. I am a "small" business owner, with 8 employees. I mean really, if a company spends more money per year on lawsuits then my company will make in 25 years then they shouldn't be calling themselves "small". Noel Lee, you can't fool me! Oh, by the way, your cables are very over priced. Next to this video on youtube, there are many video examples of your Monster Shananigans. Just search Noel Lee and Monster Cable.

Peace!

You sicken me.

A persons welth should be gauged by what they contribute to society.

Over priced crappy cables, Mysery to small companies at Christmas time, Using dissadvantaged kid's as pawns and a Tax Free haven in Burmuda.

Yes mr lee you are a small man.

Lee is an idiot. Douche bag, etc. Stop suing little guys. No one is going to get Monster Mini GOLF and Monster cable confused except for your own dumbass Noel Lee!!!


I will NEVER buy another monster cable again, and I hope everyone that reads this will do the same.

Lee acts as he is doing no wrong, and we the consumer just doesn't understand MC legal rights.

Lee thinks all of us customers are sheep, since we are all willing to purchase his extremely overpriced cables. This is America ya'll!! Show Lee how unpleased we are by spending our $$$$ elsewhere!!

Wow. :o

A "small" company of only 500 employees? Riiiight. How about that trigger happy lawyer cesspool of his? He sued Monster Mini-golf for using the word "monster"? All I can say is wow over and over again. How he believes himself if what amazes me. soundfreq is right; he thinks he owns the word "monster". What a douche bag.
