I would never make fun of people mainly because I have a friend with a child that has downs and my own son has his problems.

But seriously, look at the dude in the back center...He is almost Napolean Dynomite like.

The dude to his immediate left looks like he got hit by shrunken head syndrome.

Poor peeps.
