But there is a world of difference between a joke at a Downs person's expense and the visceral mickey taking about early death and how a person looks, having said that its a free country and if people find this sort of material funny then he certainly knows his audience...personally I think its lazy "comedy", and I use the word comedy very sparingly.

Exactly. You can make any topic funny, you can find humour in disability in which everyone can enjoy because no individual is the butt of the joke. Your not mocking someone just for being different and presuding people to laugh alone with you at their expense, bascially the same as bullies at school, your finding humorous aspects of their life. One which a lot of people in that position may also find funny. But mocking their voice and their walk? That's entirely different.
