Schadenfreude History, Revisited
Conservatives on the Texas School Board successfully modified the state’s social studies curriculum to reflect what they believed was a more accurate account of the republicans role in recent American history. I like this idea. In fact, there are some little known bits in Schadenfreude’s history, that I think our readers would enjoy. So please, [...]
The City That Works! April 10!
We’re heading back to the stage, and we aren’t coming alone. We’re bringing the Noize, the Funk and some free wings. And these guys – The Jordan Years. They’re working with us to put the new show together, and they kick ass. To support my case, I enter into evidence Exhibit A: You’re welcome. What: [...]
I was hard on you when you was growin’ up, Schadenfreude.net reader.
I did things that made you hate me. Now, you can see why I did.
Tea Party Slammer
Hey folks, Fred the Tuckpointer here with one you’ll never believe. Last time I blogged, I was telling you all about how my neighbor Don got a letter from the crummy IRS telling him he owed big time. I’d been seeing all these “tea parties” on TV where a bunch of people who hate President [...]
Friday Meet n Greet
Hi Everybody! My name is Molly, and I’m a new clogger to the blog! Like that political wacko John who posted below, I have known Schadenfreude for years and am psyched to be able to contribute to the site. Like John, I’m also interested in media criticism, and I especially like to write about feminism [...]
“I was Michael Cera first”
**BREAKING** The Supreme Court of New York has ruled in favor of a disheveled and geeky young actor wearing an ironic T under a hoodie, who claims “I was Michael Cera first.” Jesse Eisenberg, 25, star of the film “Adventureland,” displayed his signature bad posture and said something witty without any inflection when the verdict [...]
2-Second Movie Review: Wolf
Just a scant nine years after Michael J. Fox starred “Teen Wolf,” Jack Nicholson made his own mark on the genre with “Wolf,” a film that probably would have been even more successful if it had been considered the third of the “Teen Wolf” trilogy. Nicholson plays a mousy book editor who is fortuitously bitten [...]
Makeover: Upper East Side to Boys Don’t Cry
How you will know when this season of Bravo’s reality show “NYC Prep” is over: When this: Finally completes his transformation into this : Like they say in the emo biz: It ain’t over until the kid in skinny jeans sings “Boys Don’t Cry.”
Tron! (A Blast from the Past)
In honor of the new Tron film, here’s one of the original suits [Thanks James! /s]
Welcome to the San Diego ComicCon!
For two weeks every summer, the sleepy town of San Diego becomes the center of the geek universe.
Movie studios hawk their tentpole films for the following summer. Video game companies show off their big games for the holiday season. TV studios give fans unprecedented acess to their favorite stars.
Boom Goes the Dynamite.
Know this meme? Even if you do – please watch. The next 4 minutes are the most enjoyable Schadenfreude I can find on the web at this hour.
Should This Woman Run for Office?
I mean – California did elect the Terminator. Would New Yorkers elect the Nanny? The hard part of this is that she just MAY be a qualified candidate, BUT, there are gonna be people who are out there voting for her simply because she was the Nanny. You know those people. The people who loved [...]
There should be bagpipes at every event.
I went to my one of two masses of the year – Christmas being the other one. It was Easter Mass at St. Patrick’s (who doesn’t have one of those?) right across the street from Rutgers in Jersey. Best part? Because it was not only an Easter Mass, but also a mass commemorating the “Uprising [...]
Schadenfreude Kicks It With Rhymefest!
Back in April we were guests on The Interview Show with Mark Bazer. Rhymefest was also a guest that night and somehow we convinced him to do a bit with us. Mark just posted the video. Dream come true! Seriously, anyone who knows me, can confirm that my dream is to someday get called out [...]

Best of 2008 Photos. This one taken on our lunch break during tech rehearsal for our Theatre on the Lake show. Those blue hairs had no idea what was coming!
A Year In Schadenfreude Photos
I’ve taken loads of photos this year and haven’t always been that diligent about posting them. So, I hereby declare the month of December as “Let’s Take A Look At What Kate Photographed Schadenfreude Doing in 2008″ month. Here is one from our Chicago Magazine photo shoot (Taylor Castle Photography): February 18th, 2008 2:17PM.
Consumer Watch: Mary Kay Ad Rips Off Timberlake!
The song in this ad is a few notes away from Justin Timberlake’s “LoveStoned” (well, technically, it’s the “I Think That She Knows” Interlude – which starts at minute 3:28). In watching the ad, there is no credit to Timberlake’s song — it’s just a blatant rip off. What’s up with that?! You’re not allowed [...]
