Somehow, society has been perverted to the point that we think crap can be turned to gold, so long as it makes money.

Update: Unbelievably, we sold out our sale quantities overnight, meaning that our 3-day Black Friday Sale lasted a total of 12 hours and didn’t even make it to Friday. Due to both demand and requests on Twitter, we’ve decided to simply remove the 150 cap and extend the sale through 11:59 pm EST on Friday.
We’re having a Black Friday Sale over at DIYthemes, and from now until supplies run out, you can get Thesis at an unprecedented 20% discount. To cash in, simply enter the following coupon code when you purchase or upgrade:
