Intellectual disability, like other disabilities, are a popular subject matter for simple off-color jokes, circulated through the media or by word of mouth. The disability is frequently referenced by mentioning the Special Olympics. In 2002, the United States Postal Service issued a postage stamp honoring the Special Olympics. The 2005 film The Ringer, about a man who pretends to be intellectually disabled in order to cheat at the Special Olympics, was made with the approval of Special Olympics.
