By copying and pasting the following paragraph and swapping in the appropriate company name, information and nautical metaphors, we'll save time and effort which we can spend on more uplifting endeavors.)

Representatives from [Kuju Entertainment], [developer] of [Batallion Wars 2 and Geometry Wars: Galaxies], confirmed today that they have laid off [a number of employees] across a few of their studios, including [Kuju America, Chemistry, and their corporate headquarters]. In addition, [ten] employees at their subsidiary, [Zoë Mode], the minds behind [You're in the Movies and Rock Revolution], are ["at-risk"]. As always, we wish the recently unemployed the best of luck, and hope that [Kuju Entertainment] can [stay afloat in these tumultuous economic waters].
