So.. I figured I need to learn more of these and some of the wittiest ones are made by normal people like you...
For those that dont know what an oxymoron is, google it or read the following line:
Wiki: An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms.
The two that I hear the most and all I remember with my wonderful memory:
Microsoft Works(Number one in my opinion)
Military Intelligence
Hoping to get people to add some they have come up with or seen around.. I know I can just google and get a lot, but where is the fun in that..?

thats irony, not an oxymoron.
An oxymoron (plural oxymorons) is a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms. Oxymoron is a loanword from Greek oxy ("sharp") and moros ("dull"). Thus the word oxymoron is itself an oxymoron.
also, http://www.oxymoronlist.com/
also, the only one I could think up of right now was "Darkspace Patch"

I don't understand why 'Military Intelligence' is an oxymoron. Civil War is a stretch, but I guess I can see that.
