Monster Energy Drink - Cease and Desist!
Friday, January 11th, 2008First off let me say that I will never drink a Monster Energy Drink ever again. I will even take this step further and will never drink any beverage from the Hansen Beverage Company, their parent company.
Yesterday I received a Cease & Desist letter from Hansen Beverage Company demanding I remove a “Monster Energy Drink Myspace Layout” from my site. At first I was a bit confused. They dont want people having monster energy drink layouts on their social networking profiles? This company couldn’t be this ignorant to the kind of increased brand recognition their company receives from social networking layout sites featuring myspace layouts with their beverages on it.
But then again, maybe Im just the ignorant one. I went ahead and complied with them. I removed the layout and I apologized. I am sorry for creating a myspace layout for people who enjoy your beverage, I am sorry for listening to my site visitors who wanted to show off your product on their page. I am sorry for using my creative resources to promote your product.
Heres a quick image of the mini-fridge in our office.

And there you have it. RedBull is the official drink of BankonThat.com and its parent network.
