Maybe your first instinct upon reading that decrepit old crone Olivia Wilde was playing someone with Down Syndrome in a PSA was, “No, what? People with Down Syndrome can play themselves! This seems like a terrible idea.”

And then you watch the PSA. “Oh,” you say to yourself. “I see what they did there. I think I’ll excuse myself to go cry for a minute.”

That was great.
