    Merely related ideas are not "ironic". Ironic is when one's words say one thing and one's actions another that contradict it. If MySQL.com claimed SQL injections in MySQL were impossible, then this attack's success would be ironic. If MySQL.com attacked some DB with a SQL injection, that would be ironic. Not all coinciding events are "ironic".
