Irony

Wow, I just had to bring this to peoples attentions.

 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/7141752.stm

 

Its a news story about some Manchester United fans engaging in combat with some other teams fans and like..getting stabbed and such. The line that stood out and actually made me spurt out was this ;

 

None of the stabbed fans suffered serious injuries.

 

What, apart from getting stabbed?!

 

Seriously, has the world gone mad?

Well, if they got stabbed in the little finger a tiny bit... thats not serious.

 

Btw:

The ironing is delicious.

 

2 points for anyone whos knows what thats from.

An old man turned ninety-eight

He won the lottery and died the next day

It's a black fly in your Chardonnay

It's a death row pardon two minutes too late

And isn't it ironic... don't you think

 

It's like rain on your wedding day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

Who would've thought... it figures

 

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye

He waited his whole damn life to take that flight

And as the plane crashed down he thought

"Well isn't this nice..."

And isn't it ironic... don't you think

 

It's like rain on your wedding day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

Who would've thought... it figures

 

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

When you think everything's okay and everything's going right

And life has a funny way of helping you out when

You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up

In your face

 

A traffic jam when you're already late

A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

It's meeting the man of my dreams

And then meeting his beautiful wife

And isn't it ironic...don't you think

A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

 

It's like rain on your wedding day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out

Helping you out

You realise the majority of that song is not describing irony? (Which is ironic in itself.)
