QotD: Maple-flavoured schadenfreude

Filed under: Cancon, Humour, Media, Quotations, USA — Tags: , — Nicholas @ 01:00

Schadenfreude is of course the German word for taking pleasure in the discomfort of others. There should be a specific Canadian variant to indicate our enjoyment of Americans’ discomfort, which is and always has been a major source of satisfaction for many of our media elites. Maybe schadenfreud-eh?
