Looks like the day of closing distressed shops: earlier today Time Inc announced closing its OfficePirates site, now Yahoo is canceling “Richard Bangs Adventures” only a year after launching the video travelogue as one of its first original shows.

Oh wait, since when did original content mean “hard work”?
