Question:down since it reached there lol

Answers:
Hi there Kindred lol..thanks for the previous points! I was not attempting to get them from you.I genuinely agree with your sentiments. Yet again, I concur with you about the umbrella song! How the hell did it get to no1 in the first place?!! Who thought of them appalling lyrics?!! You can imagine someone sitting there with a pen thinking: There is a bit of time to left on this song, how can I fill it out.I know, lets add ella ella ella Lol!
Here are some of my examples of Irony:
A shipboard scene of reconciliation and hope for an estranged couple ends with the camera pulling back to reveal a life preserver stenciled “RMS Titanic.”
A situation immortalized in O. Henry's story The Gift of the Magi, in which a young couple is too poor to buy each other Christmas gifts. The man finally pawns his heirloom pocket watch to buy his wife a set of combs for her long, prized, beautiful hair. She, meantime, shaves her head to sell her hair to a wigmaker for money to buy her husband a watch-chain. The irony is twofold: the couple, having parted with their tangible valuables, is caused by the act to discover the richness of the intangible.
When John Hinckley attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan, all of his shots initially missed the President; however a bullet ricocheted off the bullet-proof windows of the Presidential limousine and struck Reagan in the chest. Thus, the windows made to protect the President from gunfire were partially responsible for his being shot.
Rock trio ZZ Top are famously associated with the chest-length beards of guitarist Billy Gibbons and bassist Dusty Hill. The group's drummer, who only has a mustache, happens to be named Frank Beard.
A man goes over a giant waterfall e.g. Niagara Falls in a barrel and survives, only to take a cleanup shower where he slips on the soap and dies from trauma.
An anti-technology website.
An anti-capitalist sells anti-capitalism T-shirts for a profit.
An anti-federalist runs for president.
A person is run over by an Ambulance
