Did you catch The Simpsons on Fox last night? Grandpa Simpson decided that he had had enough of life, and sought out a doctor that would perform an assisted suicide for him. Once the arrangements had been made, Grandpa was wheeled into the execution room and connected to the diePOD, which was the device that would get the job done (while simultaneously providing the soundtrack). As grandpa lay on the table, awaiting the inevitable, the diePOD played "Instant Death" by Megadeath.Now that's satire, folks.

Firmly Alanis ironic.
I donno -- I'm no expert, but I think Alanis irony is over-diagnosed these days. When I read the TUAW excerpt, I put the emphasis on "that's", e.g. "now that's satire". The definitiveness of the classification makes it seem ironic to me.
Or maybe I'm an idiot. I'll leave it up to you english majors to decide.
(not that you were an English major. but you know what I mean)
