21Someone’s pain = our amusement
It is simple enough (but not very nice). It is always easy to be amused by someone’s pain but not just any kind of pain (because that would be wrong). No! If you slip and fall, if you hit your head on something, if you drop something, and if you do it on live TV now that has to be funny, and it actually is. We remembered this Russian reporter who was blown away by a fire extinguisher live on air? If you think you saw it all, don’t hold your breath!
