Something, such as a job, purpose, or environment, in a (possibly consistent) situation showing the opposite of its intended function.
EXAMPLE:
A SUV with a bumper sticker that says keep earth green. (Example not created by me.)
This shows irony because SUVs tend to use up a lot of gas, therefore poluting the earth; it is, in essence, the opposite of what the sign said, advising others to keep the earth unpoluted.
-----
"The zookeepers were trapped in the huge gymroom."
The irony is based on the fact zookeepers are the workers of a business thats purpose is to keep animals caged. Now, the people who cause this upon others are now in the same state themselves. This is a more subtle form of irony.

Get the Platonic Irony mug."It's a testament to Britney's continuing popularity that hers it the fourth most sought-after pussy shot even though she hasn't flashed hers for the cameras. Panty upskirts aplenty, nipple slips on a regular basis, carefuly crafted almost-nudes like this one, and even a world-class catsuit cameltoe. But apparently she keeps her panties on in public. Must be that proper Southern upbringing."
