There is a real life parallel here.

The Sydney 2000 Paralympics had a similar event (The Paralympics being the global equivalent held just after the Olympics in the same venues).

The Spanish ID basketball team was found to be not mentally challenged. It was within the rules to have one or two not very mentally handicapped players, but actually 10 of the 12 were all normal-functioners.

They got the gold medal, winning the final 87-63 over Russia; apparently, they got all intense and slap down, really going at those mentally-handicapped types.

Then it's like. Why? There is no prize money in the Paralympics. And it can't be for pride, you can't tell people about that, that you were in the Paralympics...

So why? Anyway, they were busted and stripped of their medals and new rules were introduced to prevent this from happening again.

So. Accusations of plagiarism are somewhat silly. Like any good idea, lots of people have it simultaneously.194.112.58.52 21:43, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

So... we can blame them wanting the support of the Special Olympics for this not being funny? JayKeaton 13:57, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Anyone know who sung the song "everywhere I go I see pretty girls"?Verdad 15:24, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

The Kids of Widney High sang that.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Theringer poster.jpg

Image:Theringer poster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Shouldn't there be a spoiler warning here? I haven't seen this movie yet, but I know how it will end now. Bummer. I'm going to edit in a spoiler warning. If it isn't right or it isn't in the proper format, then please change it. --Shady Jade (talk) 05:57, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] South Park

How can the South Park episode "come first" if the movie was "written and filmed" before the South Park episode was? What part of the South Park episode actually came first? Ari (talk) 03:50, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

The movie was written and filmed before the South Park episode but was released into theaters AFTER the South Park episode was televised. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.251.16.218 (talk) 15:11, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
