The Truth Of Monster Energy Drinks

1. Whoever is making this video is paranoid and seeing connections where there are none, something which can be done with just about everything, ever, OR:

2. The people behind Monster Energy are really good at advertising.

I, personally, favor the second conclusion.

EDIT: Also, you have to think about who Monster Energy is marketing to. What better way to give your drink a "bad boy" feel than literally implying it is somehow related to the Devil himself?

Both your argument regarding subliminal messages, and the second option imply that everyone drinking Monster energy drink is familiar with the proposed symbolism used in its logo. This is undoubtedly not the case.
