Racial slur/derogatory statement about Marley’s race, nationality, or religion. Or maybe it’s not. ---

I, for one, am glad that Marley is there to save us from the great evil of…stupid threads? What a travesty it would have been for that thread to have 5 or 6 equally vapid comments and then sink into the netherworld of the forum. Our eternal gratitude to you, Marley, for saving us from this calamity. And my condolences to everyone for whom the mere existence of a dumb thread causes abject pain. Truly, yours is a life doomed to suffering. ---

It looks to me like **Inigo** was trying to generate a political “thread”: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=26280](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=26280) Which is a classic of the type thread that we don’t often see anymore. Also before a lot of you found the SD. ---
