Schadenfreude - –noun
satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else's misfortune.

In this case, getting trapped into watching CNN tonight...the reason for that word usage?

Watching the Big Bad Bounty Hunter CRY.

Comparisons to Michael Richards, actually playing the tape..

Holy crap. And people are acting SURPRISED by all this. WTF?

What always gets me about stuff like this (and Britney's child care and Russell Crowe's temper tantrums) is that hundreds, if not thousands, of regular people do the same crap every day, but it's only news if someone on TV does it. Whatever. *rolls eyes*

And people wonder why I'm rather happy that I don't watch TV these days.

*nod* Dad and I were discussing that aspect...this does not affect his "Job" at all..only his "celebrity".

And, the fact that if you watch the CNN stuff...his eyes respond as if he's Prey..not predator, very shifty. Psychologically, it was amazing to watch.

This is the most retarded thing...

Really.

*nod* All the press, but what got me was the fake tears (that bugs me every time), and the shifty "How can I get back at her" and "How do I get out of this" look. Human psychology amazes me every time.

Agreed. And you know...what gets me is that people think the fake tears work. I know fake tears when I see them. I also know those shifty looks you're talking about too. GRRRRR. Yeah...the human psyche is an interesting thing indeed.

*nod* Oh, I'm just amazed I was able to pick out the shifty gaze, and...wow, many other non-verbal clues that scream "How do I work this?"

There's a reason I wanted to study psychology at school first, then changed to events.

Well, you've always seemed very observant. It works for you either way. :)

What happened? Why did Dawg cry?

Personally I don't care for him.
