> but is that really ironic? i think the american public has lost the meaning of ironic. irony is an unexpected twist, it's not just something that's weird and coincidental. It's like that Alanis Morisette song (however you spell her name) "Ironic" where nothing in the song is ironic... it's all just bad luck.

yes, i admit it (weeps) i have fallen into the trap of being an ordinary american. hehe. but seriously though, i would agree and i change my phrase to say "it's the coincedence of the parody that cracks me up".....
