As The Special Olympics grows in popularity, measures are being made to facilitate the new audience whom want to watch theses games :
On 1 December 2005, during the team drawing for the most important football (soccer) tournament in South America, the Copa Libertadores, Special Olympics Latin America signed an agreement with the South America Football Confederation (CONMEBOL.). CONMEBOL General Secretary Eduardo De Luca publicly announced the agreement and described Special Olympics and its mission on a live broadcast by FOX Spots television network to millions of people in more than 30 countries in the region.

Didnt see that coming. I am glad that they did.
I am assuming that Farrelly brothers knew where to go and where not to go.

A little information about The Ringer for those who don’t know:

Plot Summary

This comedy is about two guys who decide to rig the Special Olympics to pay off a debt by having one of them, Steve (Knoxville), pose as a contestant in the games, hoping to dethrone reigning champion, Jimmy. Mentally-challenged high jinks and hilarity surely follow.

To put things in perspective, During South Park 8th Season, they had an eposide where Cartman enters the Special Olympics to try and finally win something. Click Here For More Episode Information : The eposide, as most South Park Eposides Make it very funny, but no prestige funny, just plain old funny plus there is also a moral to the episode. This the approach that I see the Farrelly brothers taking. So I am glad to see that the Special Olympics approves.

Be sure, to come back here after the movie is realased ( 23rd )for a Full Review.
