Bosom Buddies' Wendie Jo Sperber Dies of Breast Cancer

Saw Alannis Morisette on the Jimmy Kimmel Show last night. Thought about how she had a hit called Ironic which included no ironies in it's lyrics.

Merriam-Webster says irony is:

the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning

Alanis sings:

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought...it figures

No, babe. It don't figger. Shouldn't this song have been called A Random Series of Unfortunate Events?

Regardless, I think that when the star of Bosom Buddies dies from Breast Cancer it is both unfortunate and ironic. I could be wrong.
