Actually, I was kind of digging at the big studios. The shit they pan off as parodies now are nothing but throwing sex into something someone else created. They can't even be bothered to come up with creative titles. Long gone are the days of "A Clockwork Orgy," "Pulp Friction" and "Texas Dildo Massacre." Now it's just "Star Wars XXX: A Parody" or "This isn't Three's Company XXX." I've always understood a parody to be a spoof of something, or poking fun at something. In doing so, you tweak character names, you exaggerate traits of characters and story lines; you take creative license with someone else's ideas. You don't simply add sex and keep the same title and character names and call it a parody because you put it in the title. I'm really surprised some of the studios putting out these so-called parodies haven't been sued yet, and there's a part of me that wishes they would. It's just fucking lazy. Would they sue me if I cut the sex out of one of their original scripts and put it out as a "mainstream parody?" You bet your ass they would. So why is it different the other way around? </end rant>
