Major Faux Pas at Kanye West Concert

Oh, Kanye. The acclaimed rapper/self-described Steve Jobs/newly minted Kardashian, who once rapped, “They tryna put me on the schoolbus with the space for the wheelchair,” halted a concert on Friday night after discovering that several audience members weren’t standing up to honor their Lord and Savior.

The setting was the Qantas Credit Union Arena in Sydney, Australia, and West reportedly announced, “I can’t do this song. I can’t do this show until everybody stand up… Unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and shit. ‘Imma see you if you ain’t standing up, believe me, I’m very good at that.” Then came the foot-in-mouth moment. Most of the fans got up and boogied, but soon West spotted a pair of concertgoers who’d remained in their seats, and refused to continue the show until they stood up and danced like the rest. One of those two singled-out fans raised a prosthetic limb, thereby proving that she did in fact “get special parking and shit,” to which West replied, “Okay, you fine.”

West then homed in on Fan No. 2, who was still seated. He stopped performing the tune “The Good Life” and declared, “This is the longest I’ve had to wait to do a song, it’s unbelievable.” The crowd was reportedly trying to clue Kanye in to his epic blunder, with the entire section making wheelchair signals with their arms. But to no avail. West sent his bulky bodyguard Pascal Duvier into the crowd to confirm that the seated fan was, in fact, in a wheelchair. When it was confirmed, West said, “He is in a wheelchair? It’s fine!”

Just when you thought he couldn't be any more of a jackass.

Can't imagine what it must have felt like to be in the crowd that night. I'd get the douche-chills so hard my whole body would lock up.

[Askold]

I think I would have just left the audience. I think it would have been wrong to keep on sitting as it would have ruined the show for the fans, but I would not have stayd there either.

[ironbite]

Amazing.  Just...amazing.

Ironbite-how'd this douchebag get any form of fame again?

[Askold]

I like the Daft punk cover song with the music video that is mostly scenes copied from Akira.

The original versions are better in both of those, but it's not bad.

[SpaceProg]

*Pinches bridge of nose*  How... how can somebody be such... so... Kanye?

It's like somebody put Kanye in the Kanye so they could Kanye while they Kanye'd.

It's as if he was so much of a giant douchecanoe that he's become the Douche Titanic.

Well, you have to admit that he's not a gay fish.

It's a South Park reference.

Ah. I hate South Park with a passion I usually reserve for dental work and frilly dresses, so I wouldn't know.

YES!  Finally someone else who hates that show!

[Ultimate Paragon]

Anyway, I'm not sure what the hell is wrong with Kanye.  Is he an attention whore?  An idiot savant?  What?

A narcissist, a problem that is a plague upon society.

Unfortunately, this plague, everyone suffers EXCEPT the person who is actually infected with it.

[MadCatTLX]

Relevant parody.

"I know that I'm a narcissistic psycho. Ignorant, goin' on rants at every show."
