MODERATORS
the caption was way more than that, it started with a quote of the beginning of a popular German proverb on Schadenfreude:
"Wer den Schaden hat..." - "Who has the damage..."
The latter part of the proverb exists in two versions, the more benign one ends in "...braucht für den Spott nicht zu sorgen" - "...doesn't have to ask for ridicule", the more cynical version ends in "...spottet jeder Beschreibung" - "...is ridiculous beyond description". Adding appropriate ending was left to the reader.
To be honest, I was surprised of seeing such a sense of humour in Scholz and his PR team, the jogging accident must have scraped off some of the Teflon he is usually coated with.
