Irony 101
Posted May 21st 2008 10:19PM by Ben Greenman
More than a decade ago, the British Highways Agency erected signs along the A1 highway to warn drivers about the consequences of unsafe driving: the signs detailed how many motorists had been killed on that stretch of road. Now, though, the signs themselves have been designated road hazards, as authorities have determined that drivers are suffering from "information overload' and are at risk of crashing as they try to process the signs. There is now some debate over whether to replace the signs with signs that say "Slow Down," signs that display the speeds of passing motorists, or tiny signs that show how many drivers were injured or killed by the large signs.

17. Maxine Waters let the cat out of the bag when she went searching for the word to discribe "government takeover" of an American Corporation---what a communist ninney.
