> 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.

Winning the lottery and then dying the next day is an unexpected twist.

Finally conquering your fear of flying and getting on a plane for the first time only to have the plane crash is an unexpected twist.

Meeting the man of your dreams and then finding out he's already married is an unexpected twist.

How are those not ironic?
