The Ultimate Irony

User avatar
Some time ago I began to receive newsletters with some clever content from Quora.com, which is sort of a forum for the intellectually curious. It became one of the few mass mailings that I rarely discard without first reading it.

Today's subject - The Ultimate Irony. Many posts on this thread truly belong on the People's Cube, hence this topic. Here are some select ones:

  • Adam Smith is buried in a public cemetery in Edinburgh, Canongate Kirkyard.
  • Karl Marx has a place of prominence in Highgate Cemetery in London.
  • Smith's site is a bit unkempt and Marx's is pristine, bold and attracts tourists from all over.
  • Smith's grave site is public---Marx's you have to pay to see.

The best way to show that you are anti-establishment is to wear a mask made in an Asian factory and distributed by Warner Bros.

The surveillance camera outside of Orwell's former residence is more than just irony. Given the astounding number of such cameras in the UK, it proves Orwell was correct!

Speaking of IRONY, I think this will become pandemic over the next few years-

"In 2010, a 3-month-old baby named Sarang died of malnutrition while her parents were out of the house. The two were at a local Internet cafe, binge-playing a game called Prius Online, in which they were tasked with raising a virtual child."

The planet that is needing to be saved is planet Hollywood, not to be confused with the restaurant chain, though the differences may be, somewhat, indistinguishable. The Current Truth™ is far more important than the reality, Komrades. Let us not forget that.
