that's irony
Believe it or not, the US military screwed up when attempting a software update on their GPS system. The resulting glitch turned about 10,000 GPS recievers into expensive paperweights for about two weeks. But that's not really ironic. During the Gulf War, Saddam tried to jam GPS signals as the US invaded Iraq. However, his GPS jamming device was destroyed by a GPS-guided bomb. That's ironic. And funny.
