Isn't It Ironic?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the don't-you-think dept.

gessel writes "Have you ever used the word "ironic?" Do you know what it really means? If not, is that ironic? Was Seinfeld's "irony" really the cause of the utter collapse of civil society as we knew it? How ironic was it for the CEO of MTV to declare irony a victim of 9/11? The Guardian is running a brilliant article that clears the confusion around a culturally critical and chronically misused word."

    Isn't it PATHETIC that slashdot thinks this is worthy of a front page story? I have submitted anal gases more worthy than this.

    An unimpressive article, uninspired content, and in the end it didn't say anything.

    How did this one slip onto Slashdot at all?

  10. A classic example of irony by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    is the fact that Michael is still allowed to put up articles on Slashdot.

    Michael, this is in fact the lamest article you've added to this steaming pile of shit of a website. You, and a number of other factors, are the reason why this website is considered a joke.

    I can handle a lot of the articles, but a look into the use of the word 'irony' as an article is ridiculous. And you people want us to subscribe to this shitrag? Yeah right.
