Sheeple.

I like this:


[xkcd.com]

Just thought I'd share, even though I doubt many of you will actually understand it. You see, I am so much more enlightened than most of you.

Kidding. I was trying to be ironic. But the mere fact that I had to point out that I was trying to attempt irony means that I don't have much faith that the average person would be able to detect the irony without my assistance, which is probably true, which kinda serves to prove the original ironic statement that I am indeed more enlightened than most, because that was some excellently-structured irony.

Kidding. Irony again. Is this starting to bother you? God, you sheeple are so easily bothered.

Kidding again.

That's not irony Alannis; that's sarcasm; or hyperbole.

Technically, sarcasm is a form of irony.

It's ironic in the sense that I was acting in the same way that the people in the cartoon were acting, so I clearly would not have been understanding the comic either. Isn't it ironic to chastize someone for not understanding something while at the same time revealing that you don't understand it yourself? C'mon, that SMACKS of irony.

Also ironic: may I point out your own semi-colon failure? You don't use a semi-colon with a conjunction such as "or."

I'm normally I silent lurker, but I had to come out of hiding to say that I loved this post.
