Who Said Irony Was Dead?

From the July Reader's Digest, a profile of Don Schoendorfer, whose nonprofit organization Free Wheelchair Mission has delivered more than 63,000 all-terrain wheelchairs at no charge around the world:

"Today, the chairs are made in two Chinese factories and can be delivered anywhere in the world for just $41.17 They've been shipped to 45 countries-Angola, Zimbabwe, Mongolia, China, India, Peru, Fiji, as well as Iraq, where U.S. Marines passed them out to hundreds of civilians in 2004."

I suspect that ONLY the Reader's Digest and U.S. News & World Report could print stuff like that without sensing the potential for irony.
