That's the whole *point* of a parody.
The more it pisses off the original creators,
the better. If they haul you into court, then
you get to prove to the whole world that they
totally deserved to be parodied because they
don't have a sense of humor.

Never underestimate the marketing power of
a good hard-core lawsuit. keep rockin' on.
forget about the man.

Actually, you can make money off it too. Parodies are immune from copyright
issues. However, you could still end up in court.
