Because I find irony funny...

I got an email from Apple yesterday mentioning the new music of the week...or whatever...which is in and of itself nothing spectacular. I get these on a regular basis. But...well I found it funny. Click and share the laughter.

Why yes it is some good irony, Billy Joel! It certainly is!





irony:
  • sarcasm: witty language used to convey insults or scorn; "he used sarcasm to upset his opponent"; "irony is wasted on the stupid"; "Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own"--Jonathan Swift
  • incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs; "the irony of Ireland's copying the nation she most hated"
  • a trope that involves incongruity between what is expected and what occurs
