RootsBooster Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 As in the title, list some good examples of irony and/or hypocrisy. Not sure if Clegg's too easy to be fair game, so here's one to start with: (In the USA) Pro-life campaigners.... who also support the death penalty!

RootsBooster Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Actually, in addition to the pro-life campaigners, religious groups who live by the Ten Commandments (thou shalt not kill) but also support the death penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Well, in that instance it would help if the same book didn't also contain the whole bit about 'an eye for an eye' wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactamundo! Dual-level hypocrisy! I think the bible may be too easy a target. Before long it will turn into another religious thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Let's try not to have another religious thread though. None of the following are good examples of irony: A black fly in your Chardonnay A death row pardon two minutes too late Rain on your wedding day A free ride when you've already paid The good advice that you just didn't take A traffic jam when you're already late A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break Ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife etc...

Rampent Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I hate irony. I need to buy better non iron shirts and boxer shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what is ironic would be if a song called ironic didn't have any examples of irony in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
