fuel to the fire

As Frank points out, my site seems to “be a giant swirling vacuum for all the people that want to know more about Alanis Morisette and her use and mis-use of the term IRONY.” Right now, the search terms that drive people to this site revolve around this post, but before I made that one the biggest driver to my site was Alanis Morissette and her correct/incorrect use of irony. I refuse to stand on one side of the fence or the other because I don’t have enough confidence in my brain to understand the argument. However, this pasty Brit falls on one side of the fence, and isn’t “pasty Brit” redundant? To be fair, he may be Irish, but they’re all the same to me. British, Irish, Scottish, Australian, Kiwi, South African…they all have accents that make them appear smarter than me, and because of that I’m obligated to hate them on sight.

While I don’t wish this site to be the clearing house for all Alanis/Irony debate, I feel like I owe it to the people that find this site through their own Alanis confusion to post this. Also, as of this writing, the top 5 search terms that googlers use to get to my site have some variant of “eye boners” in them. I wish to change that. I prefer my readers saying, “I don’t understand Alanis because I’m simple minded” to “I want my eyes to have boners because I’m simple minded.”
