The argument is logical by rache, hard to refute, really. To find the claim's validity, one simply would need to go to the Monster Energy Ltd. folk and ask to speak to the graphic artist that drew this design, that is, if logo is his thinking. And, if it's not his thinking, then, find out who's it is in the Monster org. and then the truth is known.
Rache's argument is impossible to refute from a technical standpoint by virtue of '666' being a number written differently than three 6's in a row. The number is '666' either way, but, only one way is the correct way of spelling '666' in Hebrew. Again, hard to know the truth of intent without asking Monster's genius(es) behind it's logo
Personally, what do I think, and, LOL, yes, sure, I've been challenged on this issue from my shirt in my avatar a few times on c.c., I think, that Monster knew what they were doing. There is too much similarity to the mark of the beast for the '666' not to be meant as the number of the beast, too much thought went into it, regardless of technicalities of knowing how to properly write six-hundred, and, sixty-six. I don't think someone just gets lucky like that in its marketing, as, no doubt, christian chat is not the only social site discussing this '666' Hebrew number on Monster's drink. And, that's not even including the real-world conversation that surely has burgeoned from the M symbol the world over.
Great wizards in advertising/marketing/graphic design think tanks come up with logical, taut, telling logos, and, Monster is a successful Wall Street company, and, with energy drinks, the advertising is very important to the product's success.
Note: My shirt has the
Monster Enegy Drink Logo. But, under it is '
3:16' words, and, below it, the words '
Eternal Energy,' and, below it is the full
John 3:16 verse written.
So, I'm going into all the world and getting looks by wearing my shirt, for the glory of God
