Time Magazine is being sold by Meredith Corp. to Marc Benioff, a co-founder of Salesforce, and his wife, it was announced Sunday.
Meredith announced that it was selling Time magazine for $190 million in cash to Benioff, one of four co-founders of Salesforce, a cloud computing pioneer.
Meredith had completed the purchase of Time along with other publications of Time Inc. earlier this year.
The Benioffs are purchasing Time personally, and the transaction is unrelated to Salesforce.com, where Benioff is chairman and co-CEO and co-founder. The announcement by Meredith said that the Benioffs would not be involved in the day-to-day operations or journalistic decisions at Time. Those decisions will continue to be made by Time's current executive leadership team, the announcement said.

What a bizarre sight. Having never witnessed something so strange before, little Eric could only stare blankly as the man slithered towards him. Yes, that's right: "slithered."
A man was lying face-first on the sidewalk and somehow slithering towards the boy like a snake. This man, who was bald and obese, did not appear to be in any pain, despite the fact that he was sliding across rough cement. Just what was going on here? As little Eric was pondering that very question, he did not even notice that the man's head had bumped into his feet. Then, in accordance with the man's iron will, everything changed.
Several separate but simultaneous changes happened in an instant. One, Eric's body was instantly repositioned such that he was lying face-first on the sidewalk. Two, all of Eric's clothing vanished. Three, Eric could no longer move, as if he was paralyzed. Startled by these sudden events, Eric barely noticed that the man had slithered on top of his body. Or, at least, he didn't notice until it entered his body...
"No! Stoooooooooooop! It huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurts!" Eric screamed. A hard, thick object had entered the boy's anus. This object was rapidly being slammed into and then pulled out of Eric's hole. Even the word "brutal" would be an understatement here; it was as if the kid's anus was being torn apart, to the point where it was bleeding profusely. Although the boy screamed for mercy, the man said nothing and simply continued pumping.
Yes, he pumped. The man pumped even when Eric screamed. The man pumped even when Eric sustained several anal fissures. The man pumped, until everything was squirted inside. And then, it was over.
For a moment, and even though he was still in massive pain, Eric was relieved. Perhaps the man had finally been satisfied, and he would leave the boy alone. Indeed, the man had no further interest in Eric, having utilized the boy thoroughly. However, as the man was slithering off of Eric's body, the kid's head snagged on one of the man's many fat rolls and his neck snapped instantly. That was the end of little Eric.
The man slithered into the sunset without a care in the world. His destination was a world in which freedom prevailed. For without freedom - without men's rights - all would be lost.
