MAKE Switches To BUY

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday April 1, 2006 @10:38AM from the be-a-good-consumer dept.

ptorrone writes "It's been a rough year for MAKE Magazine, you see, everyone wants to buy things and not make things, so we're switching our format and rebranding the magazine to BUY. The next volume will be filled with wonderful things you can buy and directives on things to do, like buy more. Our new designer, Nada, has some shots of the next volume here."

Now instead of making the sign, can I now BUY an "OMG Ponies!" sign?

I tried making one but ran out of glitter halfway through, and had to use nail polish to finish it. It's a bit of a hack, and I mean the worst connotation of the word "hack" :(

Ooooh look at the purty pink colors!

Seems like everyone crazy enough to mod a random post up already got to bed. Who would do that anyway. Or does anyone want to prove I'm wrong?

If you say "Make me a sandwich woman", I can say "OK, you need to learn how to make sandwiches, and the get your sex changed, and then go to work at Subway. You'll be a sandwich woman." If you say "Buy me a sandwich woman," though, I'll be forced to explain that slavery is illegal.
