"Protest The Hero" guy's been preparing for this moment for his entire life. Otherwise we've got a big old gathering of posers. 

This weekend you may have seen angry Facebook posts from friends and family saying that the "crazy" Kanye West made fun of a wheelchair-bound fan at his Australian concert for not being able to stand up before performing one of his songs.

Though we love to rail on West for his egotistical antics, the story is a bit different than that. As you can see at the 1:00 mark, West does implore the audience to stand up, he quickly realizes his mistake at around the 2:30 mark when he calls out two fans for not standing. After seeing that one is in a wheelchair he says that it's "fine" and continues playing as usual.

The moral of the story? West is not entirely some self-serving ego monster and even knows how to laugh at himself a bit when he makes a mistake. Is he a bit of a dingus? Sure. But leave the outrage at the door, please.

Mike Burkett apologized to the fan later and they both seem to be pretty cool about it, because punks are just chill like that.

UPDATE: True to his word, Fat Mike got the fan a beer and let him unleash a kick to make it fair and square:

WARNING: It gets gross.

FAIL Blog takes no responsibility for those that rock out too hard.

This crazy scenario went down in Bristol's University of the West of England. We'd like to think they were all just a little tipsy and didn't even know they were trapped in that elevator.

Key word being "attempts."

If there's anything we can take away from the Toronto mayor's antics and fumbles, it's not a life lesson on responsibility or a politician's duty to their constituents. It's definitely a sick beat and great rhymes.
