What's Going On At Viacom?

December is truly the cruelest month. It is the worst month to get laid off, just before the holidays with significant gift expenses. But that's just what's going on at Viacom, where the Methuselan Sumner Redstone still, quixotically, wields the iron gauntlet dealing with upstarts not unlike a cosmic force swatting away a troublesome gnat. From Gawker:

"The latest rumor is that MTV is planning a round of layoffs for early December. Now a tipster tells us that fellow Viacom property VH1 is holding a big HR meeting for department heads tomorrow. To sharpen the hatchet?"


Does anyone even still watch VH1?
