Talk:Humor

From Conservapedia

There is nothing ironic about something you do not necessarily expect. For instance, if I see a black swan, that is not ironic. Secondly, there is no reason not to expect rain on a wedding day. Even if there was, that would not make it ironic. It would be annoying! The only way rain on your wedding day might be ironic would be if you are a weather forecaster.--KimSell 16:36, 9 February 2009 (EST)

Irony

The latest revert was extremely ironic, especially considering Alanis' own comments about the song:

For me the great debate on whether what I was saying in ‘Ironic’ was ironic wasn’t a traumatic debate. I’d always embraced the fact that every once in a while I’d be the malapropism queen. And when Glen and I were writing it, we definitely were not doggedly making sure that everything was technically ironic. It’s a testament to the fact that we didn’t think it was going to be put under the microscope by 30 million people. For me the sweetest moment came in New York when a woman came up to me in a record store and said, ‘So all those things in the ‘Ironic’ aren’t ironic.’ And then she said, ‘And that’s the irony.” I said, ‘Yup.’ To me it’s a real snapshot of a nineteen-year-old’s definition and version of how life worked at the time. All that ‘Ironic’ touches on spawned all my future inquiries into and current understandings of the mysteries of life.

I'm not trying to start any beef here, just couldn't help but be overcome with the irony of the situation. FundieMath 16:37, 9 February 2009 (EST)
