Irony: an example

YouTube Preview Image

This clip played before the Avatar showing I attended. The advertisement stands at odds with some of the themes presented in the movie.  Without giving too much away, I am referring to the clip’s implication about one’s service in the military contrasted against the “morally correct/incorrect” choices the main characters in Avatar make.   At first I thought it was a mock advertisement akin to the ones shown before Tropic Thunder or the fake movie trailers between the Grindhouse features.  Now I realize that with a name change (and more Autobots and Decepticons) it could easily be the preview for next summer’s blockbuster.
