this is informative and unfortunate 

When a friend or a colleague does something utterly stupid and idiotic, and you have to hold them accountable, even if they're a friend.

Louis: This is informative and unfortunate.

Informative murder porn 

True crime shows used primarily by middle aged couples to get aroused. This phrase was coined by South Park in the season 17 episode of the same name.

Stan:"You guys don't need to be watching that stuff."
Randy:"Oh come on! You can't block your parents from watching informative murder porn!"
