Schadenfreude

Sometimes, just occasionally, I feel sorry for journalists.

The Independent has a "best of" feature in which it identifies the 10 (or the 50) best examples of a particular product, such as cameras, fish and chip shops, fountain pens, handbags and so on.

This morning, it has surpassed itself. The topic of this morning's "best of" is - believe it or not - men's washbags. How unexciting can you get?

And some poor sod of a journo has had to trail through the internet selecting appropriate examples. What a glamorous occupation!
