Because vav can stand for the number 6, the message claims that the logo actually represents 666, the &#8220;mark of the beast&#8221;. Thus, claims the message, Monster Energy Drinks hail Satan and people who consume the product or possess items such as clothing that features the logo are inadvertently communing with the devil. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9162856233\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p> Humans have a natural tendency to equate hidden &#8211; sometimes sinister &#8211; meanings to everyday symbols and images. But, in this case at least, the supposed connection is so tenuous and whimsical that it descends into outright absurdity.<\/p>\n<p>The basic premise in the would-be warning is that the three strokes that make up the &#8220;M&#8221; logo are actually not an &#8220;M&#8221; at all but a vav repeated three times to make 666. A cursory glance at the logo and the vav symbol shown in the Hebrew alphabet chart included in the message might seem to reveal a passing similarity. However, a closer examination rapidly reveals that the symbols are in fact quite different. As these side by side images show, a vav has a very different shape than the Monster &#8220;claw&#8221; symbol. The head of the symbol is rounded and sweeps to a vertical point. In contrast, the Monster symbol is much more angular and tapers to a horizontal point. If each stroke of the Monster logo was de-stylized and placed in a different context, it is extremely doubtful that anyone would seriously claim that the strokes were meant to be vavs.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/monster-666-9.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"19827\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/absurd-warning-claims-that-monster-energy-drink-logo-hails-satan\/monster-666-9\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/monster-666-9.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"105,280\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"monster-666-9\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/monster-666-9.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/monster-666-9.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19827 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/monster-666-9.jpg\" alt=\"Monster 666 Hoax 9\" width=\"105\" height=\"280\" \/><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/monster-666-10.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"19828\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/absurd-warning-claims-that-monster-energy-drink-logo-hails-satan\/monster-666-10\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/monster-666-10.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"105,280\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"monster-666-10\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/monster-666-10.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/monster-666-10.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19828 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/monster-666-10.jpg\" alt=\"Monster 666 Hoax 10\" width=\"105\" height=\"280\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Moreover, even using the very same Hebrew alphabet chart included in the message, the logo could just as easily be interpreted as three Zayin, three nun or even three khaf. And there are also several other ways of rendering a vav, none of which have anything more than a rudimentary resemblance to the components of the Monster logo.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear who created the message in the first place. However, the earliest example I could find was \u00a0<a class=\"norm\" title=\"Monster Energy 666\" href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120221213621\/http:\/\/www.meridianwebsites.com\/MockUpSites\/pastor\/content\/monster-energy-666-0\">published on the Pop Culture Pastor blog<\/a> \u00a0in 2010. The blog also makes other &#8220;666&#8221; connections including a claim that pop star \u00a0<a class=\"norm\" title=\"Justin Bieber Using 666 Symbolism\" href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120420031848\/http:\/\/www.meridianwebsites.com\/MockUpSites\/pastor\/content\/justin-bieber-using-666-symbolism\">Justin Bieber has used<\/a> \u00a0the &#8220;666 hand sign&#8221; in promotional images.<\/p>\n<p>In short, the message is nonsense without even a shred of credibility. Clearly, the logo is exactly what it seems to be and nothing more; a stylized &#8220;M&#8221; for &#8220;Monster&#8221; designed to invoke the idea of a monster&#8217;s claw marks. Like other logos, it is intended to look attractive to the targeted audience and therefore sell more products. Claiming that the use of the logo is some evil conspiracy designed to trick hapless consumers into communing with Satan is beyond ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/absurd-warning-claims-that-monster-energy-drink-logo-hails-satan\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/absurd-warning-claims-that-monster-energy-drink-logo-hails-satan\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This story was first published on February 15, 2012 Outline Message circulating via email and the blogosphere warns that Monster Energy Drinks claw &#8220;M&#8221; logo is actually made up of the Hebrew letter vav repeated three times to make the number 666 and is, therefore, the mark of Satan. \u00a0 Brief Analysis The claims in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6890,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hoax-inggris"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
