...the pain is gone!

Everybody wave goodbye to Scott! (Don't worry about the lack of visuals: if enough of us do it, he'll feel the breeze.)

Like you haven't been saving these up for months.

Scott looked really surprised he was voted out.

I guess he didn't see it coming.

If so, it's the first one Jeff's called right all season.

Punning about his visual impairment isn't the same as making fun of it. I think Scott might actually find it funny. He's pretty smart and has a good sense of humor.

I think Scott would find it funny. He has a pretty good sense of humor and he made me laugh several times with different comments he made throughout the competition. I think he was out of his league in American Idol but he's a really classy guy.

He does seem to have a good sense of humor. When people got on Ryan's case for trying to high-five him during the auditions, Scott said "high-five" to Ryan one time after his performance.

Also, I kept waiting for Scott to tell Paula that she looks wonderful tonight - to see if she catches on. Guess it won't happen now.

Ok - I no longer feel quite so mean. Sheez. It's one thing to make fun of someone for not being able to sing (i.e. Megan), but to make fun of someone's blindness? I'm far from a Pollyanna, but that's just not right. And, yes, I do have a sense of humor - I just don't consider making fun of someone's physical infirmities to be funny.

Probably best not to wander too far into the Survivor archives, then: we had way too much fun with Chad's foot.

Scott is/was a contestant on a reality show. The general term for this is 'fair game'. If I ignore his blindness, I'm being politically correct to the point of being silly. If I joke about it, I'm being offensive. All things considered, I'll just take it as a minor blessing that he didn't know what the makeup and wardrobe departments were doing to him every week.

You haven't even begun to see us hit 'not right' yet. But if this thread goes for a while, we may get there.

And all things considered? I think Scott would prefer that we laugh about it instead of tiptoeing around it. Because laughter is, in its way, acceptance -- and being afraid to is rejection.

Hey. Q-tip hair is totally in vogue. Where have you been?

Believe me, I'm not 'politically correct' in any way,shape,or form - the very idea makes me laugh out loud. I think that anybody in the public eye is indeed 'fair game' - as long as it's not for something they can't help, such as blindness, deafness, skin color, height, etc. On the other hand, if you dye your hair green, wear miniskirts when you're 50, or go on tv squawking like a duck, then it's open season on your #####.

But laughing at someone's blindness is not the same thing as acceptance - and not laughing at it is far from rejection. It's also not avoidance of the issue; it's merely accepting the disability for what it is, a part of the person's physical makeup, and looking past it to the person underneath. (OMG - I'm going to have to do some serious soul-searching now because this sounds just far too liberal for me!)

Anyway, that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. I do see everyone else's points, however, and they're equally valid. (And I will admit to having laughed at plenty of Stevie Wonder jokes in my time, too - let the charges of hypocrisy fall as they may.)

But now it's time for something lighter, so I'm going to switch on over to the thread about my personal favorite, Adam, and maybe listen to Mad World again. Sigh.

Have a Good Friday everyone.

8. "It's a positive!"
From the home office in Dread Ryleh, here's tonight's Top Ten Best Things About Being Blind On American Idol.

10. As far as you're concerned, Megan has no tattoos.
9. Takes an extra five seconds to catch on to just how short Seacrest is.
8. You're the only person who doesn't have to make a special effort to ignore the lust on Kara's face. (On the other hand, you can probably smell her pheromones, so this one just might be a write-off.)
7. Didn't spend all of Adam's last performance saying 'What the hell is with that stupid blue lighting?'
6. If you ever land in the Bottom Three, just claim you can't find the stool. Or as long as you're at it, the exit.
5. When Simon calls your performance indulgent nonsense, you don't have to resist the urge to say 'So's your expression every time you say that.'
4. You can appreciate the group sing for the artistry of the performance (if only it had any).
3. Danny never asks you for an opinion on which glasses he should wear tonight, and the rest of the group hasn't been able to escape him for the last three hours.
2. You get to stay by your seat as much as you like -- which means that when the final breakdown finally comes, you have a weapon to fend off Paula with.

And the single best thing about being blind on American Idol is...

1. When Nigel makes eye contact in order to suck out your soul, nothing happens!

It begs noticing that Danny can cry. Adam does not know why. Paula always seems so high. Lil Rounds bakes Anoop a pie. Matts are made for feet to dry. Randy's just an average guy. Kris and Simon never lie. Kara knows that when I die, Allison will learn to fly.

Serendipitously yours,
The Great Mister Zero
