Who can appreciate this...
MINI-VAN, traveling URBAN AMERICAN streets, the PERSONALIZED LICENSE PLATE reads...."GAIA"
all the while the van is spewing acrid blue-oil-burning smoke into the air....
Irony, anyone? |

I don't get it--I really think these people worship some of these dead (and alive ) race care drivers like God's...just like the Folk's who put them bent Metal fish on their boots...what about those bumper stickers that say"my childs was first in the spelling "B" last week....etc...yuck!!.. |

| Same thing happens here - on my walk to work in the mornings I often see those pointless, large urban 4-wheel drive 'cars' stuck in jams carrying one small schoolkid in the back. Quite a few have stickers claiming that said vehicle is using unleaded fuel. Whoopee! Why don't these people walk instead? |

Well, I'm not sure... but here in America (((cue choir "....land of the free....")))) those gas-guzzling SUVs & 4x4s are driven as status symbols, by "soccer moms"; usually while on their cell phones...
....you really can't tell the depth of a puddle just by looking...I mean, it could have been really deep.... |

I know! And he can capitalise properly and everything! 
My fave observation about irony was by Ed Byrne (Irish comedian) discussing Alannis Morrisette's song "Ironic", in which she describes various situations, which whilst uniformly unfortunate (traffic jams, flies in wine, etc) nonetheless all fail to be ironic. However, Byrne pointed out, it is quite brilliantly ironic that there's a song called "Ironic" written and performed by someone who clearly has no idea what irony actually is.
