			<description><![CDATA[With this new Hot Hitz challenge and all, I'm pretty confused about what a &quot;parody&quot; is. <br />
Parody is pretty easy to recognize in movies and songs and such, but with a lot of the designs in the challenge, its a bit difficult.<br />
<br />
Many of them seem to be just a play on words (like doh'nut) or using a familiar character in a different situation (Like spiderman in the rain).<br />
<br />
What I understand to be a parody is this: <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.threadless.com/product/2587/YMCK/tab,guys/style,shirt">http://www.threadless.com/product/2587/YMCK/tab,guys/style,shirt</a><br />
<br />
It uses a different subject matter to reference something familiar; unlike the other submissions, it doesn't just simply put YMCA in a different situation (Like having bears do it or something).<br />
<br />
Am I just really retarded and not understanding this parody concept correctly?]]></description>
