Irony of The Day Number One: Shipping

  I am a huge fan of the Tom Hanks movie Cast Away. Ever since I saw it in English class in 9th grade, I fell in love with it. Everybody knows about Wilson the Volleyball. He was Tom Hanks' costar in Cast Away. So Wilson Sporting Goods made a Wilson the Volleyball replica with the bloody face handprint on it.
  I've always wanted a Wilson of my own so I decided to buy one from Amazon. Here's the ironic part, In the movie Cast Away, Wilson was shipped through FedEx. However, Amazon shipped my Wilson through UPS. Go figure that one. Anyway my Wilson should arrive at my door on Monday. So I'll be having a volleyball to talk to if I ever get stranded on an island in the South Pacific

Oh The Irony

The Front of the belt buckle
See where it says Taiwan on the bottom where Texas is?
  A year or so ago, my dad gave me a belt buckle that is shaped like the United States. On the front of the belt buckle it says Made In The USA. Ironically it is really made in Taiwan. Oh the irony. This has got to be one of the most funniest examples of fails that I have ever seen. This is not only a lie but false advertising.

Enjoy this ironic fail.

Top 8 Sesame Street News Flash Sketches

   The most hilarious Sesame Street sketches ever were Sesame Street News Flash starring Kermit the Frog. The sketches often featured Kermit interviewing fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters as well as some historical ones too. These often ended up in irony or something going wrong, or something happens to Kermit. Sesame Street never shows these sketches anymore. Its a shame because Sesame Street no longer cares about Kermit the Frog, only Elmo and Abby Cadabby. So here is my top 8 favorite News Flashes.

8. 

 
  Here's One that doesn't go according to tradition. Kermit reports at Rapunzel when the prince tells her to let down her hair, it turns for the worst.

7.
   
      OK here is another classic example of irony and that these sketches don't follow tradition. Here you have Kermit in Wonderland and something is bound to happen.


6.  

 
Here is another classic example of things going wrong. Kermit is interviewing Pinocchio. In order to show how his nose grows, Kermit tells Pinocchio to tell a lie. This will ultimately backfire on Kermit.

5.

    Here is another example of the nursery rhyme going awry. Kermit is interviewing Little Miss Muffet, who is ironically not scared of the spider that sounds a lot like Fat Albert. Guess who is scared of the spider. I won't tell you, but Where is Miss Piggy when you need her.

  Here's a tip for Kermit, Don't touch anybody it could almost lead to death.

3. 

   Here's a tip for Kermit Stay Away from Magic. The Amazing Mumford Dun Goof'd up on this trick.

2.
  
   In this one Kermit try's to help Ali Baba open up the cave door of the cave of the 40 thieves with the magic S word. Kermit doesn't mind his P's and Q's and suffers the consequences. He really needs Miss Piggy to be his bodyguard.

   OK Cinderella's Fairy Godmother keeps dun goofing trying to make a dress for Cinderella. Where Is Miss Piggy when you need her? Note to Kermit, Stay Away from Magic!!!!
