Note to Seacrest: Blind Guys Rarely Get the High Five Signal

It's the most epic high five fail ever to be immortalized on video tape. Displaying his usual complete disregard for anything going on outside the Seacrest Universe, Ryan Seacrest congratulated Scott Macintyre, a blind contestant on last Wednesday's American Idol, by holding his hand in front of the guy's face. Finally realizing the guy was clueless to his gesture, an embarrassed Seacrest grabbed Macintyre's hand (the one not holding the long, white cane for the blind), and had to explain to the guy what he wanted him to do. While cameras rolled and Scott's family looking on.

None of this would have been so off-the-charts on the Unintentional Comedy Scale, except the show promoted Macintyre the entire show, and did a several minute piece on the guy's life. So it's not like Macintyre's blindness caught Seacrest by surprise. An instant classic.

Did Ryan Seacrest forget he was trying to act funny?
