Some irony ii

An American Eagle shirt with a tag that says "made in Vietnam."

Many of Shakespeare's plays involve women that have to pretend to be men to find employment because of gender roles and discrimination. Interestingly women weren't allowed to be hired as actors in plays during Shakespeare's time.

In Children's media the man and women will often do something bold and noble because they love each other. However they've often only spent about 4 minutes getting to know each other.

When people sing Rudolph the red nose reindeer they can't remember the names of the reindeer that they claim are well known, and then they ask if you know the most famous reindeer of all as if he's not that famous.
