The Onion files an amicus brief in a court case involving parody, and it's about what you would expect from the Onion:
The Onion is the world’s leading news publication, offering highly acclaimed, universally revered coverage of breaking national, international, and local news events. Rising from its humble beginnings as a print newspaper in 1756, The Onion now enjoys a daily readership of 4.3 trillion and has grown into the single most powerful and influential organization in human history.......
Third, the Sixth Circuit’s ruling imperils an ancient form of discourse. The court’s decision suggests
that parodists are in the clear only if they pop the balloon in advance by warning their audience that their
parody is not true. But some forms of comedy don’t work unless the comedian is able to tell the joke with
a straight face. Parody is the quintessential example. Parodists intentionally inhabit the rhetorical form of
their target in order to exaggerate or implode it—and by doing so demonstrate the target’s illogic or absurdity.
Put simply, for parody to work, it has to plausibly mimic the original. The Sixth Circuit’s decision in this
case would condition the First Amendment’s protection for parody upon a requirement that parodists explicitly say, up-front, that their work is nothing more than an elaborate fiction. But that would strip parody of the very thing that makes it function.
The Onion cannot stand idly by in the face of a ruling that threatens to disembowel a form of rhetoric
that has existed for millennia, that is particularly potent in the realm of political debate, and that, purely
incidentally, forms the basis of The Onion’s writers’ paychecks.
