Bioshock Infinite Is Using Irony, or Perhaps Sarcasm

The agents of the U.S. Department of Electronic Entertainment report: "When Irrational games announced they are developing a new Bioshock game set in the ultra-patriotic city of Columbia, we here at the U.S. Department of Electronic Entertainment were delighted at the prospect of exploring this wonderland of American Exceptionalism. Unfortunately we were recently informed that the themes of patriotism and a healthy fear of foreigners are not to taken at face value. It appears that the game is using some form of literary tool in which they mean the opposite of what they say."
