Isn't that ironic? Wait, no it's not...

Why is it that everybody and their dogs have such a narrow view of irony? I think every day I hear somebody, weather it be on TV, radio, in person, whatever, say something's ironic when it's not.

Irony: The use of words to express something opposite to it's literal meaning, marked with deliberate contrast between aparent and intended affect, which leads to an occurance, result, or circumstance notable for such incongruity.
Editor's Note: It's a good thing I refuse to spellcheck these suckers, or I would be here all day.
That's irony, OK you morons?

A girl at work just had her fish die, and called it ironic. That's not irony, that's a natural process. That's a living thing dying, and while it may suck, it's not irony, it's inevitable.

The other day I had a buddy say it was ironic that he wanted some chips, went upstairs and there weren't any. That's not irony, that's a minor inconvenience.

Quote Of The Day:
"How ironic. Now he's blind after a lifetime of being able to see."
- Homer from The Simpsons
Editor's Note: The only reason Homer can actually get away with this stuff is because he's supposed to be stupid.

And then there was the time I heard that woman utter the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life... the "Jagged Little Pill" CD from Alantis Morisette with that "Ironic" song that makes me want to down a bottle of Tylenol 3.

"10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife... isn't it ironic."

10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife? That's not ironic, that's f*cking stupid. If I we're in a situation like that, the only reason I'd be looking for a knife is so that I could slit the wrists of whoever put 10,000 spoons in my house. And the only person I'd want to waste more than them, would be whoever heard that story and then called it ironic.

This post has been brought to you by the fact that I probably won't post tomorrow as usual, due to having a test that I'll be studying for until I take it, then I'll be leaving instead of attending useless afternoon classes.

This post has also been brought to you by the trendy little sellout douchebag station Vibe 98.5, who started playing "Ironic" in the shower when I was already so covered in soap that I didn't want to track it across the bathroom I just cleaned to change the station, so I had to listen to that wench.
