The blurb writers for the thumbnail links on Yahoo's home page...
Perhaps they can talk to the ones who write the headlines for the full-size links, as they appear to grasp the difference between "irony" and "coincidence":
Of course, dwelling on the whole "ironic" thing is only distracting the reader from noticing that Yahoo considers a tongue-in-cheek piece suggesting Jimmie Johnson named his new daughter with the initials "G.M." because he drives a GM car (and owns a Chevy dealership) to be front-page-worthy.
Coincidence that they tried to throw us off with some misuse of "irony"? I think not.
Of course, I turned it into a post, so apparently it worked. Curses! Clearly I have even less noteworthy topics than the Yahoo front page! Aaargh!
At least it's only her initials. He could have named her "General Motors." Frank Zappa would have been proud.
