This article is a good example of parody. When one body of work (a t.v. show, a movie, a song, whatever) imitates another in style or appearance, for entertainment or comedic effect, it is considered parody. If it’s not for entertainment, it would be considered satire. When a television show like South Park makes fun of a celebrity, it is considered parody. Because it’s considered parody, South Park can’t be sued by doing so. While the laws and rules might change, the current United States Fair Use Act states that “In its most general sense, a fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work. Such uses can be done without permission from the copyright owner.” When Marvel did not own the rights to make Spider-Man movies, they would’ve been sued if they just went ahead and made a film without permission. However, when Spider-man appears out of nowhere on Family Guy, the show’s creators didn’t have to buy a licence. Part of the reason for this was because Spider-man’s appearance is considered parody. If Marvel (or whoever owns the rights) wanted to sue Family Guy, other factors that would be considered would be how long the character appeared on screen, whether he was used in any advertising, and whether the work made any money. I’d look up the rules, specifically, when you think you’re going to need them, but in general, when you’re making a piece of art (a song, a movie, a whatever), it’s worthwhile to find out what tools and resources are available to you. News parody has existed for a long time. The next time you’re in a supermarket, you might spot a copy of the Weekly World News, a print newspaper with headlines such as “Batboy saves World’s Fattest Cat!” However, since the advent of social media, news parody websites such as the Onion or Clickhole have become very popular. The news that these websites produce is fictitious, or fake, but because they parody the language and style of real news articles, it’s easy to get be temporarily fooled. In a digital culture that is increasingly getting it’s news from suggestions that other people are making, and not a single trusted source such as a print magazine, the first question you should always ask yourself when you read a news article should be is this actual news or is this a parody? __________________________________________________________________________________________
