I'm curious as to what kind of situations we NS'ers can come up with.
They can be real events or hypothetical.
These are mine

An animal rights activist in a stampede.

I can sense that this thread is going to be flooded with people trying to define what irony is.

Hehehe
good one

I can sense that this thread is going to be flooded with people trying to define what irony is.
sad but probably true

A politician being driven insane by his followers?

A taxidermist getting stuffed and mounted?

A plumber dying on the toilet?

Sweet, sweet irony. :D
On Monday June 27, Logan Darrow Clements, faxed a request to Chip Meany the code enforcement officer of the Towne of Weare, New Hampshire seeking to start the application process to build a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road. This is the present location of Mr. Souter's home. Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, LLC, points out that the City of Weare will certainly gain greater tax revenue and economic benefits with a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road than allowing Mr. Souter to own the land.

The proposed development, called "The Lost Liberty Hotel" will feature the "Just Desserts Café" and include a museum, open to the public, featuring a permanent exhibit on the loss of freedom in America. Instead of a Gideon's Bible each guest will receive a free copy of Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged."

Clements indicated that the hotel must be built on this particular piece of land because it is a unique site being the home of someone largely responsible for destroying property rights for all Americans.

"This is not a prank" said Clements, "The Towne of Weare has five people on the Board of Selectmen. If three of them vote to use the power of eminent domain to take this land from Mr. Souter we can begin our hotel development."

Clements' plan is to raise investment capital from wealthy pro-liberty investors and draw up architectural plans. These plans would then be used to raise investment capital for the project. Clements hopes that regular customers of the hotel might include supporters of the Institute For Justice and participants in the Free State Project among others.

No, it is thinking how you'd really like to see some skin on MTV and only to immediatly lose that feeling when they start showing Alanis' giant beaver. Someone should shoot it and make a hat.

Had to be done, you beat me to it.:D

Democracy activists browbeating socialists. It's not only ironic, but hypocritical. Hate those people.

The song Ironic is ironic in that there is nothing ironic in it :p

The world agrees to disarm and destroy all their nuclear weapons.

One country accidently fires off a nuke, and all other nuclear weapon-holding countries respond accordingly. (Firing their OWN nukes)

World is nuked to oblivion.

The End. :)

I have another one-
A UPS truck and a Federal Express truck getting in an accident

A bankrobber getting caught, 'cause his get-away car was nicked. Happened here some years ago.

A grocery store robber giving his gun to the cashier so he can be held up. And I have the video footage to prove it.

So much irony to go around

All the Israeli Settlers in illegal settlements crying, wailing and screaming as they are forced from their homes.

If we're interested in giving Alanis any credit, that may have been her point. ;)

Irony? My computer getting a worm just after I installed Norton Antivirus.

Wynona's big brown beaver was much better.

What is it with weird American Stars keeping pet beavers and showing them off? All I can say is, I hope those beavers get all the wood they need.

Yeah, you can't get away from those celebrity beavers. I can't tell you how many times I've seen that picture of Paris Hilton's beaver as she gets out of her car.

I was sent a night vision video of her beaver. Must have been one of those nature programmes about the nocturnal activities of beavers inside their lodges. :confused:

Hang on, what was the topic again? Oh yeah, ironic situations. Uh...

"Plastic Surgeon dies from botulism"

An evironmentalist killed by a falling tree.

A teacher failing a standardized test designed for his or her students.

Most powerful man in the world. Chokes on a pretzel.
