From this Yahoo! article about shoplifting pregnancy tests, we get this line:
Many little boxes can be stuffed quickly into a bag in one fail swoop.
Um, yeah. I'd call it a "fail," too, when you can't even get a cliché right. *rolls eyes* It's "one fell swoop." Duh.
That's not even a mixed metaphor; it's just dumb.
But it IS irony.
