Perfect Irony
Ironic, a song written by Alanis Morisette is not the definition of perfect irony. It merely illustrates a series of events and coincidences that have nothing to do with irony. If the song had been about irony, it would have focused on the one true ironic thing that most people face on the road every single day. Speed Limits.
I pick speed limit as the perfect example of irony because when you’re driving, regardless of your vehicle, you’re expected to go faster than the speed limit yet you are ticketed if you go over. If you drive slowly, people will invariably honk at you and if you go too slow the police will ticket you for driving too slow yet you’re expected to drive under the limit in the eyes of the law and above it in the eyes of the average driver on the road.
What’s your definition of perfect irony?
Stumble It!
