Irony

Irony: an occurrence or circumstance notable for incongruity, or existing and intended effect

I have been drinking bottled water since I don't really trust the tap water in Korea, yet I just read tonight that the government reported 7 out of 79 brands of bottled water contain levels of bromite--a class 2 carcinogen--in excess of international (WHO) guidelines. The gov. isn't publishing the names of the brands since Korea currently has no guidelines concerning bromite levels in bottled water.

Then again, I guess bombs/missiles from our northern neighbor may be a bigger concern right now . . .
