Ironic or Apt?

CNN reports Saddam Hussein has been executed. DirecTV program guide refers to the program as 'Happiness'
Take a minute. Look it over. Is this an ironic collision of breaking news and the DirecTV guide, or is it an unintentionally apt statement? Perhaps it is a little bit of both.



Regardless of the coincidental screenshot, at least this story does one thing for the media. It gives them a story to bite into on a Friday night where the special report on 20/20 spotlighted a complete idiot who writes stupid things, such as "stinky" on images of celebrities... you know, like a third grader might be inclined to do. It's people like this getting press attention that creates and fuels the collective image of the internet as a group of insane, mentally deficient, immature, illiterate losers. To be famous, act stupid online in the form of picture and video. Very few people read anymore. Very few of them will read this.
So, thank you to Saddam Hussein, 2006's most popular "swinger" (oh f*** yeah, I went there), for cutting this guy's fifteen seconds of fame short.
