Alanis Morrissette and irony.
I once heard a comic ripping her song "Isn't it Ironic" to shreds. It was hilarious. A highlight:
"The line, 'it's like a traffic jam, when you're already late'... that not ironic. That's just poor planning and bad luck. Now, it would be ironic if you were a city planner, on your way to a meeting with other city planners to discuss the traffic problem in your city. That would be ironic."
I'm not fully convinced that it would indeed be ironic if this were the case, though. Any thoughts? There's a fine line between irony and coincedence. It was still funny tho.
