This is the best thing I've ever seen in my life. After a blind contestant auditioned on "American Idol" last night, numbnuts Ryan Seacrest tried to give the guy a high-five. I swear to God. It's right here in this clip if you don't believe me. (Seriously you have to watch.)

Macintyre plays the piano, went to college at 14 and ballroom dances, and he even sung his way to a golden ticket to Hollywood. After Scott emerged from his audition and hugged his family, Ryan held up his right hand for a high-five.

Seacrest ended up reaching down and taking Scott's hand after his gesture hung midair. (Source)

Sure, it may have been a perfectly innocent mistake... Or maybe Seacrest just doesn't trust blindies. Maybe he was just testing him to see if he was really blind. I don't blame him. My freshman year of college I got stuck rooming with a blind girl and to this day I don't think she was really blind. That's why I used to hide and move her stuff around on her all the time. Of course, my results were inconclusive but I swear that girl used to purposely smack people with her cane. True story.

On last years UK Big Brother there was a blind dude. Another house mate was ...not accused in the sense of a media kerfuffle but was believed by some to be bullying the blind guy but always making Mikey, the blind dude, do things for him like..pass him a cup or get something that involved walking across an obstacle filled floor.
I rarely watched it but once spent a day ill with my mum, staring at this TV and we figured it out. The 'Bully' didnt (like many people) believe Mikey was really blind and was TESTING him.

I'll say this...Mikey had an uncanny knack for not making mistakes in this totally strange house with cits constantly moving furniture...
