Livejournal Employees Fired --- Economic Downturn

Livejournal is going down the shitter after it fires 20 out of 28 staff in the San Francisco offices. Permanent account people shit themselves.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mAWF9OP4M7k - for the outtakes of the video!

EDIT: Yes, I know the number is off.

heh, loved the video. I don't actually think LJ will tank though. It'll most likely be sold off to the next highest bid. The advertising potential LJ provides is still a huge asset.

Nah I don't think it'll tank either but, as put in the video, people are nervous, which is fair considering the permanent accounts haven't been on sale that long. :\

Funny... inaccurate right now but funny

[StrokMcHaggis]

Eh, it's not too far off. It was, what, 13, or something employees? I was right about the no severance pay though.

Way to spread unsubstantiated rumors and cause unnecessary distress, shitwit.

[StrokMcHaggis]

You're going to be internet famous Mr Strok ;)

[sgtbetts]

Yeah. LJ is still around a year and a half later but the life is sucked out of it. I'm user #621 out of however million members, but never paid for a perm account.

Good video man.  Pretty funny. And the Soviet anthem was a nice touch.

[TrusLuchus]

It's funny because it's true

[TrusLuchus]

I think i've heard that cunt scream before...

[fouronefive]

He's lying. We lock him up in his cupboard for public safety ;)

Russia's national anthem is pretty.

Also this is very funny. You're talented.

I don't know why people would even shell out the money with the way the new profile page looks.

What? I thought we're all having some good wank time.

i think i might have heard that bell ringing at the end. also, there's still a bit too much light ;)

[StrokMcHaggis]

Nope, it's a hallway but all the doors are shut and the zoom is on so it looks worse than it is. :D
