Idea of Google buying AOL is Hilarious? Does $382 million dollars of revenue mean anything?

AOL is hemoraging subscribers, their revenue base is drying up radically.
Even their "member retension teams" (customer saves) can't even keep employees around because they work on commision (I still have friends there so I know this is truth).

AOL might be able to keep some value in their name but other than instant messaging they don't have much else to offer the rest of the world these days.

Granted Google has lots of cash to spend but AOL is SO not their style.
