I always love it when "schadenfreude" makes an appearance on GC! It's definitely on my list of my 10 favorite words.

I'm thinking that most of the entertainment/social news these days is pretty strongly rooted in schadenfreude. Sad, really. I feel bad for Tiger and his family; private matters just don't stay private.
