Rapper Kanye West interrupted his show Friday in Sydney, Australia to ask all of the audience members to stand. The Daily Beast reports what happened when one did not stand:
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!”

Of course, we must recall the time when our dear old vice president asked a wheelchair-bound member of his audience to stand.
