I guess you think " Cracked Rear View " by howtie and the blow is a master piece since a lot of people know about it.... or Yani for that matter.... does music have to suck because someone has not heard it?????

I think we're experiencing the wonders of sarcasm here.


Or as Americans like to call it, irony.


wait, are you being for real with this?

as an american, i can say that i surely know the difference.

irony would be like, if you went to a concert and there was a big line to get in (would you call that a queue?) and you said to your buddy, "man, we're never gonna get in! there must be five hundred people in line ahead of us!". and then they opened the doors to the venue, and started letting people in. and the last person who was allowed in, before it was sold out, was the guy immediately in front of you, and that's because the club has a maximum occupancy of 500 people. that would be grade-fuckin'-A irony right there.

sarcasm would be if i said to you "hey stu, nice tie!" but really i think your tie is fugly.

no offense about the tie. also, it would be rather ironic if right now, you actually are wearing a really, really fugly tie.

speaking to this issue on behalf of all americans,

tmh

Quite a number of British people also fail to grasp irony, too, it has to be said. And I don't think that Morissette song helped. In fact I think that it mistaught a lot of people about irony.

A Canadian who everyone assumes is an American (who British people assume do not understand irony) making a song about irony which completely gets the meaning of irony fucked up, causing lots of British people to have a misconception of irony....now THAT, muthafuckers, is grade A irony.

That is ironic all the way up your ass.

in what way did she miss the point of irony? i've actually, dare i say it, found her to be a rather intelligent person, the times i've heard her speak. she might be kinda hippie-ish or something, but i don't think she's a dummy or anything.

PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT EVERYTHING I TYPE FROM HERE ON OUT IS IN CAPS, BECAUSE I WANT TO DISTINGUISH IT FROM THE LYRICS, AND ALSO BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT I AM SHOUTING AT YOU! I AM SHOUTING, QUITE LOUDLY ACTUALLY! PLEASE PICTURE HER SINGING AND ME SHOUTING MY SYNOPSIS! IT'S SO MUCH MORE IRONIC THAT WAY!

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day

THIS IS SURELY AN EXMAPLE OF IRONY. IT WOULD BE MORE IRONIC IF HE WAS 19, BUT WINNING THE LOTTERY AND IMMEDIATELY DYING, WHEN IT'S PAID IN YEARLY SUMS, YES, IT'S AS IF HE WON NOTHING. THOSE BASTARDS KEPT ALL HIS MONEY! BASTARDS!

It's a black fly in your Chardonnay

I SAY YES. A BLACK FLY ON YOUR PICNIC TABLE, NO. BUT IN CHARDONNAY, YES.

It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic...dontcha think

YES. THEY DISCOVERED AT THE LAST SECOND HE WAS INNOCENT, BUT JUST A HAIR TOO LATE. IRONIC. SURE, WHY NOT.

It's like rain on your wedding day

ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED OUTDOORS, IN TUSCON. VERY FUCKING IRONIC THEN, ISN'T IT?

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

*ALWAYS* IRONIC WHEN THIS HAPPENS. AND ANNOYING. YOU TAKE A TAXI TO THE AIRPORT, THE METER SAYS $27.75, YOU HAND HIM $30 AND AS YOU'RE GETTING OUT, HE SAYS "OH, THAT WAS A FREE RIDE. BUT YOU ALREADY PAID." SO FUCKING IRONIC IT HURTS.

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

I'M NOT TOO SURE ABOUT THIS ONE. THIS MIGHT BE A TOUGH ONE TO RATIONALIZE.

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...dontcha think

YES, THIS IS WHOLLY IRONIC. TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE. NEVER FLOWN IN HIS LIFE CAUSE HE WAS TOO SCARED, FINALLY GOT THE GUTS, AND THEN THE PLANE CRASHED. THE ODDS OF THIS ARE UTTERLY ASTRONOMICAL. QUINTESSENTIAL IRONY.

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

THIS IS JUST THE BRIDGE. NOTHING TO SEE HERE. MOVE ALONG.

A traffic jam when you're already late

IRONY.

A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break

WEAK, BUT IRONY.

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

IRONY. THAT'S A FUCK OF A LOT OF SPOONS.

It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife

I THINK YES. IF HE'S TRULY THE ONE PERFECT PERSON FOR HER, BUT HE'S ALREADY TAKEN, THAT QUALIFIES AS IRONY.

And isn't it ironic...dontcha 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
Who would've thought...it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

OKAY, I JUST REALIZED, THAT... sorry, song's over, no need to shout anymore. man that bitch has some lungs on her! a better example for "free ride when you already paid" would be if you bought a plane ticket to fly home from NYC to canada, eh, but a week before the flight (which might crash, btw) a friend says "hey, i'm driving back up to winnepeg, eh, you need a ride?" see, it woulda been free, but you paid $200 for a ticket. you moron.

seriously, has anybody else noticed that, serious, total fucking twins, dave grohl, and jennifer capriati, right? can't tell them apart? is it just me?
