Spot the irony in Fergie's charity eBay listing..

Oh come on, even you're getting your own wrong. why should "seems to have just been pasted on" be in brackets? The final bit, yes.

If you read your sentence out loud it would be:

"Yea, her image [pause] seems to have been pasted on [change emphasis in voice] having been taken in a photography studio."

So in simple terms it should just be:

Yeah, her image seems to have just been pasted on (having been taken in a photography studio). :p

I think this 'bracket' thing is just going to far and strung out. At first it was amusing, but surprise surprise OCUK can't let something lie. Before someone tells me not to read the posts, it's a bit hard when everyone is doing it ;) The content of the posts is fine and interesting, the bracketing (or rather INCORRECT) is not.

Sorry. This was due to an error on my behalf, I had done my own brackets in the incorrect order, and I feared that people would quickly reply, so I changed it and did not read the message to see if it made sense. I will edit it now.

Sorry about that. It was a bad mistake to make.

My rant was probably a little far fetched :/ I had a bad morning, though it's nobodies fault on here.
 
"The cynic may say that this is just transferring the negative effects of the vehicle to someone else, but in supporting Global Green USA, the charity is donating carbon emission credits for 10 years to offset the impact and in addition it is using the money to work on the important issue of climate change."

As an aside... I really don't see the attraction of a hummer.

You'd need to plant about half the rain forest to offset a Hummer :p
 
The bint they kicked out of Black Eyed Peas.

The only irony I see here is the irony of the implied irony of those who think that this is ironic in the first place.
