I get to read the free daily paper “Blick am Abend” during my hour-long commute. Yesterday on the cover was a picture of some singer (whose identity I won’t reveal, because she doesn’t need this type of news). The singer, sitting passed out in front of a club. Why does that news sell? The readers read that and say to themselves, “say what you want about my(son/daughter/partner/self), but at least he/she/I am/are not stooped in front of a nightclub in a near-life experience, getting photographed”. Schadenfreude is bad manners in private life, and terrible manners in public life. Terrible manners sell, but this daily newspaper was FREE?!
