Hark The Herald Sings: Omaha World-Herald to Cut Jobs

Omaha World-Herald is cutting 51 workers in response to the slowed economy and less need for advertisements from real estate professionals and all kinds of businesses that cater to the clownsumer nation.

This is not a surprising hit for layoffs, but it has surprised me that it has come out like clockwork. That particular article is funny as in blaming the Internet solely. They fail to take into account reduced ads across the board. Why advertise to broke clownsumers who can't scrub two nickels together, let alone pony up the cash to buy the intended product to fill the gap in their self-made clownsumed identity.
