Buzz Watch: French AOL Employees Sing After Being Laid Off

AOL France reportedly lost 90 of its 140 employees as a part of the company's cost cutting efforts, which DMW covered last week. Many of the employees spent their last day on the job creating a single-take music video to the tune of "L'amour a la française." It certainly puts some faces to the numbers for AOL CEO Randy Falco and COO Ron Grant, the management duo known on campus as "Smithers and Burns," according to Valleywag. One of the comments on the video posted to Vimeo says: "As a former AOLer, I thank you for showing the spirit and creativity that increasingly is lacking at the company. There are bigger and better things to work on and I wish you luck."
