The story is slightly backwards. It's the Farrelly brothers who are making
all the noise. They'd apparently been working on this story idea for a film
for some time, blissfully unaware of the South Park episode in question, and
now that they're in preproduction and it's been brought to their attention,
they've been making accusations all over town that Parker and Stone had been
approached with their "Ringer" script, which is patently untrue according to
Parker and Stone.
