The above is one of the videos currently on offer at SlateV, Slate.com's new video magazine that launched today (they're putting a lot of emphasis on magazine). Watch the above clip, and see if you agree with us: They basically took their popular "The Explainer" column, added a human face and some clip art, and uploaded it to Brightcove. That does not a web video magazine make, especially one that is supposed to be "an ordered universe of video, in which all the content has the irreverent wit, sharp intelligence, and counterintuitive insights that have been the hallmarks of Slate the magazine for the past 11 years."
The Dear Prudence clip after the jump, however, might change our mind.
LOL! JUST KIDDING! Same clip art gimmick. And the video crashed our browser, yey.
