DON'T BUY FROM THE HEAVY METAL ROBOT KIDS!

DON'T BUY FROM THE HEAVY METAL ROBOT KIDS!  The Robot is lying to you!

Almost a year after Heavy Metal Magazine collapsed, the HM websites are still up, though with no activity or updates of any kind I can see.

However, it turns out that the HM shop site is still "operating", zombie-like, enough to make people think they are still selling and shipping merchandise.  They are not.  Heavy Metal Magazine is dead.  I actually tried to place an order, and got to a credit card entry page.  No, I did not complete the order, I didn't want to join the unfortunates who got screwed by HM, ordering and paying for items that never shipped, which was a widespread problem well before the Heavy Metal ship sank.

It's appalling.  I even got a "you left items in your cart" email from the robot.  It's disgusting and funny that the email indicated a physical address, which appears to be in Long Island NY, and seems to be an auto repair shop.  It's another sad commentary on the clowns and jokers that ran Heavy Metal to its demise.  Medney and Erwin?  Yeah, fuck those guys.

I suppose eventually the site will die, if no one pays to keep it up.  Just as well, considering the mag's ignominious end.  But until then,

DON'T BUY FROM THE HEAVY METAL ROBOT KIDS!
