The 10 Best True/Slant Posts Of All Time

As we say goodbye to the experiment in online journalism that was True/Slant, let’s take a moment to celebrate the best of its reporting and writing.

Here are the TOP 10 BEST POSTS IN TRUE/SLANT HISTORY:

10. “Fashion and the economy … it’s time to get serious,” by David Rees. What’s more serious than fashion and the ecomony? (Or, as it’s sometimes spelled: “the economy.”)

9. “Bud Light Lime,” by David Rees. This explosive animated gif followed on the heels of Rolling Stone’s story about Gen. Stanley McChrystal and all the shitty beer he drank.

8. “Chicken Battle 2000,” by David Rees. Everything you need to know about 21st century society, summed up in one image.

7. “Top ten foods of the decade– the argument ends here,” by David Rees. The ultimate argument-ender vis a vis foods of the decade. If Gourmet magazine had published articles like this, maybe it wouldn’t have died.

6. “Hollywood rumor: Wall*E coming to B*Way?” by David Rees. True/Slant was the first media outlet to break the news of Pixar’s move to adapt Wall*E for the stage.

5. “The 10 best True/Slant posts of all time,” by David Rees. The definitive guide to the best of True/Slant.

4. “Hollywood rumor: 2666/2112 movie mash-up?” by David Rees. Remember when this bit of Hollywood gossip set the world on fire? Me, too.

3. “10 Classic St. Patrick’s Day jokes,” by David Rees. “The jokes so clean, their punchlines are green.”

2. “Claymation Transformers bombshell II: running out of clay?” by David Rees. Another Hollywood bombshell; this is the post that almost brought down a movie studio!

And the best post in T/S history is …

1. “Bracelets trends,” by David Rees. This is why God invented the internet.

Goodbye True/Slant. It was fun.
