"Isn't it ironic?"
It's probably ironic that none of the supposedly ironic things Alanis
Morisette has to say in her song Ironic are in fact ironic.
For a proper example of irony (which isn't like bronzy except made of
iron, no matter what Baldric may have thought), we turn our attention
to Gizmodo, which tells us about
an
amazing tool for opening those hard to open blister packs. But
(and here comes the irony part) guess what kind of package this wonder
tool comes in? Yep, according to
Boing
Boing, it does indeed arrive in a blister pack.
And that, Ms. Morisette, is what we mean by irony. Rain on your wedding day, indeed!
