If you were showing the MetaFilter Universe (including the main page, Ask, Talk, Projects, Music, everything) to someone for the first time, what threads would you choose as examples of MeFi at its best and at its worst?

MeFi Hall of Shame: Since there has been great *read WHY THE HELL ARE THEY THERE??* threads, why don't we look back at the absoulute worst threads (Self links, troll attemps, etc)? Maybe we can learn from these.

Inspired by this recent FPP and, of course, its accompanying MeTa thread, I have this question: What is the single worst FPP you have seen since you began reading Metafilter?

Hatred, intolerance, name calling, scatology. This is easily one of the worst Metafilter threads I've ever seen.
