How exactly is Monster Cable "overpriced junk"?

So a 6ft HDMI Monster Cable costs $100:

Compare that to some cheap knockoff that goes for $3.50 at Monosomething-er-other.

Sure they make a profit selling Monster Cables. Thats capitalism. But you get $100 of build quailty for that price. For $3.50 who knows what the heck you are getting. If some of that is profit, how crappy is that thing anyway? 😱

Parody and there will be 100% agreement with Monster cables being overpriced.

Only thing missing is there's no Monster store you can take your broken cable to. Otherwise, this would be 10/10 easy.
 
There is no such thing as "$100 of build quality" in a digital cable that either works or it doesn't.

I can take my $100 monster cable to any Best Buy store for support if i buy their $200 extended warranty. Its a no brainer. How else would i sleep at night?
 
What? Have you ever seen the build quality on Monster cable? It's high end luxury cables for sophisticated people. You wouldn't understand.
 
I used to think the same thing, then I replaced all my computer wires with monster cables. I mean all, USB cable, power cables, surge protector, dvi cable the works and the difference is beyond night and day. Electrical efficiency is at a all time high. I'm doing my part to save energy all with stylish cabling. My friends come over and they are in awe when they see my cables.

Heh - for all the bashing Monster actually has a really good warranty -> lifetime (as long as you didn't cut it or something else stupid)

Quite a few cables in my house are Monster cables for this reason: I bought a lot of beat up/not working monster cables for 0.50 to $2 a cable and then spent about $2 a cable shipping them to monster for replacement.

Granted I would never pay close to full price for them but I do prefer them to Monoprice's 47 gauge/unbendable HDMI cables
