How do I make my own gin?

The top few hits when you put that question to google are websites that explain how to make gin flavored vodka. What the fuck? What the fuck, I say. I don't understand why anybody would ever want to do that. That's like adding liquid smoke to ketchup and calling it barbeque sauce. You gotta be a special kind of dunce to get a kick out of that. If you're going to make "your own" gin, be a man and ferment it yourself.
