Is this ironic?Sony are running a camera phone ad at the moment. The ad featureas 'sexy' people using their phone to take pictures and everyone is happy and sexy.
The song is 'People Take Pictures' by the Kinks... a song about how dull it is to look at other people's photos.
Ironic?
Lazy ad agency, not checking the lyrics?
Or is it all a mighty big gag?

The problem isthat the advertising companies have now caught onto genuine irony, so it's ceased to be ironic and is just sad now.
