Maybe not exactly travel related, but I'm sure there are some here who get sucked into the false sense of thinking that buying a cable from Monster is worth the extra money (sorry, it's not). Check out this letter Kurt Denke of Blue Jeans Cable sent in response to a Monster Cable cease and desist letter! Really good entertainment!

Edit: Oh, and my next cable order will most definitely come from Blue Jeans Cable. Browsing their site, it seems like they have some good quality stuff for reasonable prices! ^
