Ramsey Allington, the bad-boy manager of Google's book-search operations who stands accused of sexism and discrimination by his employees, has turned electronically shy after Valleywag's exposé of his misdeeds. His blog, Ramsey's World, is now friends-only — which just suggests he's got more to hide.

For example, a now-yanked video of him singing a karaoke version of Britney Spears's "Baby One More Time." (Allington is wearing glasses, at right.) The occasion appears to be a party for coworkers in Hyderabad, India, where Allington helped open up a customer-support office for Google. How charming: This fellow has gone from sharing the worst of American culture in India, to showing the worst of Google's toxic insideriness at home.
