Today’s Friday Free For All video (that’s our weekly non-film-related diversion) was an easy choice: Downistie, an actual Dutch soap opera starring an all-Down-Syndrome cast. I’m told it’s the Netherlands’ answer to our Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Somehow this has existed for more than a year and no one told me about it before now. You’re all fired. And yes, it was also the Dutch who brought us The Human Centipede. They are a sick people. Yet, now that I know this exists, I can’t help but pray that someone also makes Downston Abbey.
I don’t want to objectify the disabled or anything, but a couple of the chicks in there were pretty hot. Which raises an interesting question: would you have sex with someone who was really attractive, but also had Down Syndrome? Or better yet, would you have sex with a really attractive person, if doing so meant that you would have to have Down Syndrome. Discuss.
[thanks for the tip, Pat]



if anyone can translate the spoken dutch, there are at least 11 more episodes that i need to watch.

The only reliable source I know of for Dutch translations is The Swedish Chef.
Seen one, you’ve seen ‘em all.
SOMEONE’S BEEN READING MY DREAM JOURNAL!
The wink at 2:02.

…there’s a doctor.
Corky is like Brando to these people.
On TBS this fall: “Tyler Perry’s What’s Up (Syndrome)”
The baby may NOT have down syndrome?????
Eastbound and Downs

Didn’t Crispin Glover do something like that?
Cerebral Palsy, dude. Night and day.
AND WATCH WHAT YOU SAY IN FRONT OF THE DOWNSWAGER!
I’ve heard some men are a little squeamish about going down.
I believe Ricky Gervais actually pioneered this when he created that show on HBO about Warwick Davis.
… Midgets are retarded, right?

Crazy. I live in Amsterdam and I’ve never heard of this. (although to be fair, the majority of Netherlands TV American and Great Britain channels with subtitles.)
Why watch a soap opera when porn is on television 24/7?
Would you like fries wi… no.
And to be fair, they’re still better actors than the Kardashians.
how dare you to compare those young brilliant stars with the kardashians
GTL is retarded in two countries.
You catch the Down Syndrome with your c*ck?!
when did they start licensing jersey shore to other countries?
As the World Derps
Downsyn Abbey
I bet that doctor’s handwriting absolutely sucks.
I’m alright I just fell downs.
The scenes in the gym didn’t look too realistic to me. They shoud have been lifting freight locomotives like Mr Incredible, who, come to think of it, does actually share more than a passing resemblance to some of the actors here.

I don’t know what’s worse. This, or Gayniggers from Outer Space.
God, I love offensive European programming.
I sense the need for a reality show competition that puts handicapped girls in formal dresses called “Evening Downs.”

“Downistie” is brought to you by an extra Chromosome 21.
Oh god, I could have fun with this all day.
Watership Downs

Total Retard
Total Retard is the precuel to the remake
And Stephen Baldwin thinks he has to sue people for money.
Downs of our lives.
This is brought to you by the letter D
Obviously, none of the actors listened to Kirk Lazarus.
I hate to be a nit picker, but the gentleman on the Fly machine wasn’t lifting very much for a person with “retard strength”.
