I'll type slow...it is like Tina Fey and Sarah Palin, is that a little clearer, and parody is funny! Dave Chapelle being Prince, like that! IT is humor!
A little play acting like Chapelle/Prince or Fey/Palin is parody......
Organizing a large demonstration, a rally, at the same location is copying....
The reason for the copying is irrelevant to me....and only a fool would claim this wasn't a political rally, it was and it was meant to be one...2 days before the election is not a coincidence...
Didn't you believe Steward....
The Wall Street Journal quotes Jon Stewart as saying, "This was not a rally to ridicule people of faith or people of activism or to look down our noses at the heartland or passionate argument or to suggest that times are not difficult and that we have nothing to fear."
Did Stewart just lie?....It sounds like a serious, sincere remark...
A parody is to spoof, to lampoon or ridicule, a work created to mock, or make fun at an original work, its subject, by means of humorous, satiric or ironic imitation.
Stewart himself denied that.....
Now I wasn't there and I saw absolutely no coverage of the event....talked to one person that was there and he claimed it was pretty lame except for the some of the music....
so if you need to think it was parody, have an organism....I can't stop people from lying to themselves....
