Irony

I like the work of Greenpeace, and applaud their efforts.

I just found this a little ironic.

"Greenpeace said Tuesday it will pay nearly $7,000 in damages after the environmental group's flagship, the Rainbow Warrior II, hit a coral reef at a world heritage site in the southern Philippines.

The accident Monday was "very regrettable," Greenpeace said in a joint statement with the Tubbataha National Marine Park, but it laid some of the blame on maritime charts showing its ship was 1.5 miles from the reef."

Any other good examples of irony out there?



Greenpeace to pay fine for damaging reef

The Right to Life President of the United States supporting the Death Penalty!!!!

Rush Limbaugh abusing narcotics.

Karl Rove being hired for a TV ad of this product in time for Thanksgiving:

That Alanis thing is wrong....

"Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly...but 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 though, 'well isn't this nice..."

That situation seems ironic.

That's why I said "virtually no examples" instead of "absolutely no examples." That's the only actual example of irony in the song.

Or the 98-year-old man who won the lottery and then died? Yup, what a strange twist -- for a 98-year-old man to die.
