    Alanis Morrisette famously sang a song called "Ironic" about a lot of things that really weren't ironic (rain on your wedding day?). To remedy that, here's a gallery of hilarious photos that are ironic.

    Well, OK, maybe we should call it "sometimes flat."

I'm pretty sure the "Plan Ahead" needlepoint/embroidery art being messed up is the whole point. The commentary on the side is totally unnecessary on that one.

Actually, the Windseeker being closed due to high winds is a VERY good idea. Winds on that thing are very strong, even when its not blowing all that hard. Even if there are no sustained winds, the ride goes in circles at 30ish mph 300 feet in the air.

Rain on your wedding day actually WOULD be considered ironic since rain is associated with unhappiness and your wedding day is supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life. Dont diss Alanis when you're too dumb to get it.
