Slate is an English-language online current affairs and culture magazine created in 1996 by former New Republic editor Michael Kinsley, initially under the ownership of Microsoft, as part of MSN. On December 21, 2004, it was purchased by the Washington Post Company. Since June 4, 2008, Slate has been managed by The Slate Group, an online publishing entity created by the Washington Post Company to develop and manage web-only magazines.[1]
Since June 2008, David Plotz has served as the editor of Slate.[1][2] He had been the deputy editor to Jacob Weisberg, Slate's editor from 2002 until his designation as the Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of The Slate Group.[1] The Washington Post Company's John Alderman is Slate's publisher.[3] Slate (ISSN 1091-2339), which is updated daily, covers politics, arts and culture, sports, and news. It is ad-supported and has been available to read free of charge since 1999.

Background
Slate features regular and semi-regular columns such as Explainer, Chatterbox, and Dear Prudence. Many of the articles tend to be short and relatively lighthearted pieces. There are also many meta-columns: collections and analyses of major newspapers, magazines, and blogs. It has a number of associated blogs, including some of the most well-known on the Internet, such as Kausfiles. It also features frequent week-long diaries and a link to each day's Doonesbury, whose website is hosted by Slate. Podcasts of several of its columns are also available for download.[4]
Slate contributes to the National Public Radio show Day to Day.
Slate features a set of online forums called "The Fray", the editing and moderator duties of which are left up to a "Fray Editor."
In March 1998, Slate attracted considerable notice by charging a $19.95 annual subscription fee, becoming one of the first sites (outside of pornography and financial news) to attempt a subscription-based business model. The scheme didn't work; in February 1999, Slate returned to free content, citing both sluggish subscription sales and increased advertising revenue. A similar subscription model would later be implemented by Slate's independently-owned competitor, Salon.com, in April 2001.
On July 15, 2005, Slate began offering a podcast, featuring selected stories from the site read by Slate editor Andy Bowers. Another podcast, featuring the Explainer column, was later added, read by Slate foreign editor June Thomas. A third, called "Slate's Spoiler Special," reviews movies for people who have already seen them.
In September 2005, Michael Kinsley returned to Slate, writing a weekly column published simultaneously in Slate and the Washington Post.
On November 30, 2005, Slate started a daily feature ”Today's Pictures,” featuring fifteen to twenty photographs from the archive at Magnum Photos that share a common theme. The column also features two flash animated ”Interactive Essays” a month.
In June 2006, on its 10th anniversary, Slate unveiled a redesigned website. In 2007, it introduced "Slate V"[1], an online video magazine with content that relates to or expands upon their written articles.
Editorial stance
Slate's focus and editorial slant is politically liberal, as seen in choice of columnists, choice of and position on topics, and featured cartoon, Doonesbury. During the 2004 U.S. presidential campaign, a significant majority of staff and contributors supported Democratic challenger John Kerry[5], and in 2008, Slate staff overwhelmingly favored Democrat Barack Obama.[6]
Slate includes many voices of the Clintonian / Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) / neoliberal point of view. These include two of its bloggers: Mickey Kaus, whose favorite subjects include welfare reform and the potential for a future candidate from either party to reap major political gains by taking a law-and-order stance on immigration issues; and Bruce Reed, President Clinton's domestic policy adviser, and current president of the DLC. Jack Shafer, one of its top editors, has stated that he has voted for the Libertarian Party candidate for President in every election since he became eligible to vote. (One unusual feature of the magazine is that it explicitly states its staff's biases, going so far as to publish the presidential votes of individual staff members and writers[7].) Slate frequently publishes columns that advocate a neoclassical view of economics, for example articles by professors Paul Krugman, Steven Landsburg, and Tim Harford, who embrace capitalism despite their general left-of-center political alignment.
On the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Slate took a "liberal hawk" perspective, as represented in the contributions of Christopher Hitchens, William Saletan, Michael Kinsley and others. Timothy Noah was the only full-time Slate staffer who opposed the invasion, though he was briefly persuaded to abandon his relatively dovish position by Colin Powell[8]. In the years since the occupation began, however, the magazine has been increasingly critical of its management, most strongly in Fred Kaplan's "War Stories" column.

READ THE DESCRIPTION TO FIND OUT ANYTHING YOU WANT ABOUT 2 girls 1 cup!!! This is not a reaction, this is the actual video! Due to popular demand, I decided to upload the whole thing. Watch it at your own risk, and don't forget to film your reaction! Here is some more info on the video: 2 Girls 1 Cup is a copy of the trailer for Hungry Bitches, a pornographic film produced by MFX-Media[1][2], with the URL "2girls1cup.com" superimposed under the pre-existing "MFX 1209" (the product code for Hungry Bitches). The trailer features two women defecating and vomiting into a cup, taking turns consuming the excrement, and vomiting into each other's mouths. Hervé Roy's "Lovers Theme"[3] plays throughout. This one-minute trailer is an Internet viral video that became a well-known Internet meme among bloggers and Internet forums for the reactions its graphic content elicited from its viewers.[4][5] Around mid-October 2007, video sites such as YouTube were flooded with videos depicting others' reactions to watching the video for the first time.[6] Contents [hide] 1 Origin 2 Reception 2.1 Reactions 2.2 Parodies 2.3 Media recognition 3 References 4 External links Origin The video originated from a 36-year-old Brazilian man, named Marco Fiorito, who describes himself as a "compulsive fetishist".[7] Fiorito originally produced foot fetish videos but soon moved on to coprophagia. The film was produced by MFX-Video, one of several companies owned by Fiorito.[7] Fiorito contends his films are legal in Brazil, but authorities in the United States have branded some of his films as obscene and filed charges against Danilo Croce, a Brazilian lawyer living in Florida, listed as an officer of a company distributing Fiorito's films in the United States.[7] Croce accepted a plea bargain and was sentenced to 3 years of unsupervised probation and forfeiture of $98,000.[7] Fiorito claimed he did not know his films were illegal in the United States and that his films often contained chocolate instead of feces to appease some of his actors who were willing to appear in scat films but not actually eat fecal matter.[7] The first few seconds of the 2 Girls 1 Cup video are a still containing the text "MFX 1209" (the product code for Hungry Bitches) and a URL to mfxvideos.com, the website of Fiorito's MFX-Video, leading some in the media to incorrectly believe the video is one of the many Croce had to surrender to the Department of Justice but was somehow leaked in the process.[8][9] Reception Reactions Part of what has facilitated 2 Girls 1 Cup's spread are the reactions it causes.[10] Hundreds of videos exist on YouTube of users showing the original video to their friends and taping their reactions.[4][5][10] Even Joe Rogan, host of NBC's Fear Factor, a show notorious for the disgusting things its contestants eat, had to turn away in a reaction video posted to his blog.[11] A reaction video starring Kermit the Frog proved very popular on the community-based popularity website Digg.[12] In January 2008, Slate magazine documented the reaction video phenomenon with a slideshow featuring various reactions.[13] Parodies The video has inspired several parodies, such as a short film by singer and comedian John Mayer to his blog entitled "2 Guys 1 Cup" where Mayer and Best Week Ever correspondent Sherrod Small enjoy Pinkberry Frozen yogurt in the same manner that the women in the original consumed the fecal matter.[14][15] Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton also made a parody titled "1 Guy 1 Jar", which he posted to YouTube.[7] Filmmakers Justin Roiland and Christian Le Guilloux made a 5-minute series called "2 Girls, 1 Cup: The Show" for the short film competition site, Channel 101. It debuted in first place on January 27, 2008.[16] Media recognition Many in the media have taken the video's popularity as a sign of society's declining morals.[4][5][17] The video was featured on VH1's Best Week Ever, where the video's existence and propagation was declared to cause "Moral Bankruptcy" to have the "Best Week Ever!"[18] Esquire magazine showed the video to actor George Clooney during an interview, prompting him to compare it to a rodeo, saying the point of the video was to see "how long you can last." [19] In the Family Guy episode "Back to the Woods", Stewie has an in-show flashback of Brian filming Stewie while showing him the video.
