@stoopkid lol - break the habit while there is still time! i was going for the 365 streak and trolling for fuku's, and basically ruining my sleep pattern - bad life choice :), now i've pledged to Meh. no more than once a month.
What is the cord length... And the resolution on the zoomed photos is worse than the smaller photos (or it's the same thing zoomed in, not a better quality...

@jml326 ahh a trash talkin' crab snob? :) Is that old bay in your pocket or is it a natty boh? :) woah woah woah put down the crosse I am just kidding... :)
Well, damn. I didn't think that would sell out so quick. I was in the middle of feeding the cats, so I figured I'd come back to it when I was done. I have been looking around for a new surge protector for a while. Le sigh.
But is the products really bad or the pricing on them bad? I have second hand speaker cables and sub-woofer cord from Monster back when they were WAY overpriced. People gave me crap on it even though they were free! I still use them and they work just fine, actually they are nice cords.
I have one of these surge protectors. It seems to work well. I would have bought another one if you people hadn't bought them all so early. I blame @Lotsofgoats for being confusing and @Brandon for being today's goat.
Sorry we could not scam you. A Monster protector strip selling for $85 or $100 is a $3 power strip with some expensive paint and ten cent protector parts. Electrically equivalent to one selling in Walmart for $12. By retailing it with obscene profit margins, then a majority know it must be better. Did anyone first learn and post specification numbers? Why not? It does not claim to protect from destructive surges.
Monster has a long history of identifying scams. Then selling an equivalent product for even higher prices.

I have Monster power to say MEH even with that price
@CrossIT "ds" I wish meh would make the first post uneditable just to mess with you guys.
@stoopkid then i'll just say meh
I refreshed 13 times for this?
@stoopkid no kidding huh
@stoopkid you thought there might be another fuku tonight?
@DMlivezey No, I just get super obsessive over "meh"ing the post asap.
@stoopkid you could just follow them on twitter, but then again
@rileyper Haha, I have that on a shirt somewhere. But it's the consecutive meh count that I lust over. Kills me every time I break a streak.
@rileyper HEY MEHRNOLD
@stoopkid lol - break the habit while there is still time! i was going for the 365 streak and trolling for fuku's, and basically ruining my sleep pattern - bad life choice :), now i've pledged to Meh. no more than once a month.
I was just thinking about how i needed an extra power strip, you guys are really inside my head!
So can you disable the green power portion?
@kadagan yes you can, there is a switch on the end to turn this feature on and off
did you take the close up photos with a potato?
Why so blurry?
@RedOx Welcome to Meh.com where even the product photos are meh!
Can we possibly get better resolution images for this product?
@curtise it should be readable at least
@curtise The Amazon link has HQ pics. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0043DQ61M/?tag=meh0ec-20
Yep fine ok deal you got me whatever $10 I need to buy something
@opivp99 that vmp pays for itself, huh?
Plugging this deal tonight-- took a lot of refreshing though -- guess a SURGE in sales tonight
The most important missing spec: How long is the cord?
@j8048188 OfficeMax specs says 8 feet.
@j8048188 8 feet
@Moose
how long is the cord?
@DMlivezey 8 feet
@Moose no one asked this yet. How long is the cord?
@Moose Keep reading down. How long is the cord they ask.
That's a weird looking speaker dock. It is Friday, right (East Coast)?
The cord, 91.286 inches long, per amazon.
Rather arbitrary
What is the cord length... And the resolution on the zoomed photos is worse than the smaller photos (or it's the same thing zoomed in, not a better quality...
I think I gave you a $5 tip last month. At least I'm getting something in return this month.
Did it... Zany-sassy-doll
I need a new one. For that price, fuck yeah!
cord.length() returns null...error...error...
@avengerofpi gotoAndStop(8ft)
(I only ever learned basic Flash actionscript...)
@avengerofpi length is a property, not a method
@RandyWalker Sometimes both?
hilarious-purple-riddle
@Nate311 I love purple.
@Nate311 Umm...what does the Flying People-Eater have in his pocketsies?
Oh gods, yes! Can one ever have too many power strips, let alone good ones? [Answer: not really.] In for 3 without even blinking.
@haydesigner That's me too!
If you open the PDF linked in the specifications it tells you. The length is...
@roccoroni 8 feet. :)
Front of blurry package photo shows 8 ft cord
That write up, epic!

My favorite "Monster". Sir Vorpal Kickasso from Goblinscomic.org.
Well...it was $16.99 at Newegg....before Meh bought 'em out. And two five star reviews...so if you wanna buy cheaper than the 'egg....
From Newegg: Extra-long 8ft (2.43m) Powerline 100 cord easily reaches wall outlet
Just when I think every Monster product is crap and I wasn't even missing my VMP...
You totally redeem yourself meh!
In for three, craven-neglectful-vessel
ouch this is totally going to sell out
Oh thank goodness it sold out, I was about to go buy one...
@thismyusername NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OMIGOD THE MOMENT I WENT BACK TO THE MAIN WEBSITE PAGE THE THING SOLD OUT FML I DIDNT EVEN ORDER YET FUCK MEEEE
Good $10 power strip. Monster has a bad rep not for bad products but for grossly overpricing them.
I'm glad I impulsively bought two before the sellout. I had a feeling they'd go quick.
I was just thinking, "Maybe I DO need one of these..." And BANG!!! It's sold out. 😬
WTH? Sold out in under 30 minutes? Sales per hour are gonna suck.
People in Wyoming don't seem to buy from meh. What's up with that?
@heartny maybe they did. I live in baltimorr city, and i bought one. Still black as night.
@heartny cows don't need power strips, and miners use battery operated devices.
@jml326 are you a cow or a miner?
@heartny Out of all 50 states, Wyoming has the lowest population estimated at around 586,107 people. It's all about math and probabilities.
State 49 on the list is Vermont at 626,042 and if you look closely at the map for today's product, you can see nobody bought from that state either.
@thismyusername neither im a baltimoron.
@jml326 ahh a trash talkin' crab snob? :) Is that old bay in your pocket or is it a natty boh? :) woah woah woah put down the crosse I am just kidding... :)
Well, damn. I didn't think that would sell out so quick. I was in the middle of feeding the cats, so I figured I'd come back to it when I was done. I have been looking around for a new surge protector for a while. Le sigh.
@Pony We should make up an idiom for this. How about something like
"He who hesitates is mediocre."
@HeadfoneJack I think this is already covered by "Cheer up, Sucker."
I was right next door in another tab and I had forgot. what happened? Are these magical?
Amazon link shows $39.87 now. Still a great deal though.
Would have bought, but I was futzing around with life and then surfing the forums. C'est la vie...
WTF I want a damn power strip with USB ports also on it for cheap! Not worth even $10 to me. And yeah I checked at midnight but called it Meh.
@Stallion Do you want a power strip with USB charging ports? Newegg has that on a Shell Shocker deal later today.
But is the products really bad or the pricing on them bad? I have second hand speaker cables and sub-woofer cord from Monster back when they were WAY overpriced. People gave me crap on it even though they were free! I still use them and they work just fine, actually they are nice cords.
I have one of these surge protectors. It seems to work well. I would have bought another one if you people hadn't bought them all so early.
I blame @Lotsofgoats for being confusing and @Brandon for being today's goat.
@lumpthar Maybe it is the person reselling it at his store.
When it went up for sale, I was waiting to buy until I decided if I wanted 1,2,3. Thanks to Meh, I picked 0 at 11:30 am CT
@caffeine_dude… you mean, thanks to you
@haydesigner necro much?
I was wondering what to get the wife for Valentine's day. ambitious-menacing-basketball
Man, I would have ordered two or three of those things... Perhaps next time...
I ordered two just in time. lagging-bitty-dress. Here's a dress with some bits, lagging a few hours behind.
Man, I really wanted one of these. Saw them at Walmart in clearance section for somewhere around $75. Assume great price. Well done meh.
Should I be green with envy that I missed this deal?
As of last Friday and this Friday, meh is wavering a great amount of power over us...
Looks like SDF is POF (power outlet friday)
same price on woot mothership
@shawninaugusta link?
Those who missed it, you can get them here:
14.97 plus 5 bucks to ship Monster Surge Protector
Twice the price Meh had em, but still cheaper than Amazon
