Re:Dear Google: Parody Is Not Trademark Infringement by kgarten on Wednesday May 21, 2014 @12:25PM (#7779090)
Yes of course, I do. Yet, again, I cannot agree with your statement. First, I neither "oppose" Shell nor Google (actually I think Google is a pretty cool company). Still, I find the parody funny and it raises some interesting questions.

Next, in the examples not an individual is "impersonated" but a faceless, anonymous corporation. I would have way more problems with the parody if an individual (independent to if I like them or not) would be impersonated or ridiculed.

If somebody makes similar fun of my employer, I would not mind at all.
