    How is this a parody? It’s not poking fun at the original or pointing out its flaws.

      quoth wikipedia: “A parody is a creative work designed to imitate, comment on, and/or mock its subject by means of satirical or ironic imitation.” … “The literary theorist Linda Hutcheon said ‘parody … is imitation, not always at the expense of the parodied text.’”
