meh..they are both the words to describe sneer, but yes that was sarcasm, not irony, if you want me to BE TOTALLY ABSOLUTELLY RIGHT USING A WORD...either way it's the same crap just with different title and level...

No, when you are being sarcastic, you at times are being ironic, but when you are being ironic, you are not necessarily being sarcastic. Also, irony isn't always used in sneering fashion, whereas sarcasm is. When you said you were being ironic with that statement, it could be taken (which is how I read it) that you think that the picture that we all think is ugly is actually a work of art to you. That is ironic, but not sarcastic. I'm not trying to be rude, or give you English lessons, I'm just explaining why I responded the way I did.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's frustrated by how often people confuse irony with something else. I see it more confused with coincidence more than anything else though.

But yeah, fugly cover that I don't ever want to see again.
