Is this correct? "Enjoy life with people who makes you forget social networks"

Question

Is this correct? My friend says it is, but I am not sure.

I'm not a native speaker; is this grammatically correct?

@wyatt The sentence on the t-shirt; "Enjoy life with people who makes you forget social networks" — eirikdaude, Mar 8, 2016 at 14:05
Yes, the sentence written on the shirt in the picture. Thanks @eirikdaude =) — Grace Johnson, Mar 8, 2016 at 14:10
Can we say forget something instead of forget about something? — user2738748, Mar 8, 2016 at 23:57

Almost right.

Enjoy life with people who make you forget social networks

People is plural, and you only use makes with singular, for example

Enjoy life with someone who makes you forget social networks

I wonder if the mistake was intentional, perhaps for humorous effect?

@J.R. If you had travelled in South East Asia, you would not even consider that possibility.

@cardinal, T-shirts with english writing are very fashionable: many are ungrammatical or use inappropriate words. For example, filipinos and koreans do not differentiate the pronunciation of the letters F and P: so people think that a T shirt saying "poxy lady" is a compliment to the wearer.
