What?! Ok. So you're arguing that irony has to be some fantastic element? Jesus. Yes, a picture growing cardboard tree...I guess...would also be ironic but it can be much simpler than that. I feel like at this point, though, you're just arguing to be correct, not as part of any reasonable conversation. I think you do know what I was talking about. I made a simple, related example of basic irony and we're both correct, although yours is a little weird but that's fine.
