Parody Guidelines

Warning: These guidelines are entirely made-up and not actually followed by anyone, including our team of highly-trained, highly-paid, completely-not-paid consultants.

Remember, the key to parody is to be completely serious while saying the opposite. It's like the inverse of a Zen koan: "The finger pointing at the moon is not pointing at the moon; the finger is pointing at itself, but claiming it's pointing at the moon."
