Irony is a literary or rhetorical device in which there is a gap or incongruity between what a speaker or a writer says, and what is understood. More generally, irony is understood as an aesthetic valuation, which is variously applied to texts, speech, events and even fashion. All the different senses of irony, however, revolve around the notion of incongruity, or a gap, between our understanding or expectation and what actually happens.
I implore you, fellow YTMNDers, run through the streets naked! Swear in front of babies, small children, and especially politicians! Give out pornographic fliers in you local church! Have sex in the school cafeteria! The tightasses of America must learn to see reality as it really is: a pornographic, violent, offensive world. Live with it!
Farenheit451 is a book about burning books. The highlighted text tells a story of a person who wanted Farenheit451 banned because it had "bad words" in it; he also had never read the book, so he had no f*cking clue of what he was suggesting. This also took place during national banned books week, which made him look like even more of an ass. This isn't an example of irony, however.
