Captain's Log: Textbook definition irony 1/17/2010

Irony: 1.)the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning.
2.)an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected.

Once again, after almost 25 years, Jay Leno comes off like a giant douchebag. I'm positive you guys have at least caught enough of the cliff notes pertaining to the Leno vs. Conan drama to know that shit's getting pretty nasty. Here's the short version: Much like David Letterman before him Conan is getting screwed over the highly coveted Tonight show hosting gig. Now that isn't so funny(espeically if you're in the 18-34 age bracket, because you're most likely on Team O'brien). But this retaliatory response from Jimmy Kimmel is.


If you're thinking Jimmy was out of line for that tirade watch this perfect personification of irony. Jay digs his own grave with this clip.



Wow, Jay. Classy.
