So. Yeah. That happened.

something something something mommy i see leprechauns!

 

This is absolutely hilarious, though. How do you screw up that badly?

[~British Soul~]

I am reading this correctly aren't I? *Double checks*

...

Wow, just wow. I can't believe they messed up that bad.

I'm just baffled at how this is a thing. What in the world would lead to this happening on accident? Like...I didn't read most of the article, but...what odd sequence of events led to this? This is like a sitcom story.

How do you do a think like that by accident?

[Brinolovania]

LOL

 

This is the most fantastic thing I've seen in a long time. This is gonna be one of those historical things that people on the internet as TILs in the future for people to laugh at.

I think the government had Canadian Beer instead of Irish beer. Oopsie.

Legalese is very complicated, no one is 100% fluent.

Actually, after reading, it doesn't seem like a very big deal.  Just some ambiguous wording that was corrected.

 

Kind of a clickbait title.

Another thing to note is that this is only a 24-hour thing because of a loophole.

Ireland is awesome! Heterosexual marriage has caused more pain and suffering than Class A drugs anyway.

This is the single most edgy teenagery thing I've ever heard in my life.
