I'd say that people deal with irony everday, just as they are faced with advertising and the need to slow down in this fast paced world. It was very clever to use our modern day ironic news reports as Fenon did during a past time in France.
We really aren't much different. Sure the scenes are different and there are different occurences, but over all we are still human and irony still happens.
So I googled Irony, and here is something interesting that I found.
Irony is an implied discrepancy between what is said and what is meant.
Three kinds of irony:
1. verbal irony is when an author says one thing and means something else.
2. dramatic irony is when an audience perceives something that a character in the literature does not know.
3. irony of situation is a discrepency between the expected result and actual results.
Example:
"A fine thing indeed!" he muttered to himself.
