It's allowable to make a parody *of* almost anything, but that's not the same as being allowed to make a parody *using* someone's copyrighted material as a foundation.

And you know this how? If what you said is true, it would conflict with every supreme court case I've read on the issue of parody. How do you think these parody cases get to the supreme court? They involve someone's copyrighted work.

And the copyrighted work is the one being parodied. Can you point me to a SC case that involves a third party's copyrighted material.

You are correct. The IP squad bouncing around their legal opinions here have no clue.
