[QUOTE 5004369, member: 9609"]I never really get what the diff is between Irony and hypocritical?

for instance; people who go on and on about the enviroment and the importance of having a low carbon foot print lifestyle then in their next breath tell us all what far away destination they have just been to on holiday.

is that more hypocritical because its not funny. ?[/QUOTE]

Irony is usually within the same context. Some graffiti saying I hate vandalism, for example.
