I don't know why the definition of Irony is so hard for people to grasp.

I once heard Alanis Morissette say that not having a single example of actual irony in a song titled "Ironic", was in itself ironic, and that it was the point when she wrote the song - so she was making fun of how commonly misunderstood the word was by misusing it herself a couple dozen times in the song.

The cynic in me thinks that was probably a lie to cover ignorance, but I really hope it's true. Believing that actually makes me hate the song less.

I think choosing x4 as an outlet to display your keen awareness of Alanis Morrisette lyrics was a wise decision.
