Could I get in trouble for this parody?

[Isis1]

Nah, offensive is the name of my game basically. But I guess you gave a pretty definite answer, since my main worry is if some idiot thought it was real and killed himself, I dont want to be charged for anything.

ok. then you are definitely in the wrong section. for crimes, there is a specific section.

what you should be more concerned about? is being civilly held responsible. that one is a mothereffer. THAT one will "kill" you. being sued for every penny you ever owned or potentially own until you die?

 

[Zigner]

You made me laugh XD

I wouldnt lose much if I was sued for "every penny I own", because I'm not kidding when I said I was broke. Barely own anything, and dont plan on ever owning anything

Bleeding me for money is like trying to get water out of a rock

Judgments last a long, long time.

But, you plan on being a deadbeat for your whole life, so what does it matter, right?

 

[traumkampfer]

Pretty much, yeah. I dont value money or possessions very highly, I just didn't want to be imprisoned for the actions of idiots.

I'm just trying to make a funny video, and this is what i find funny. Guess I'll ask elsewhere.

While you might make a funny video, how are you going to feel when some kid blows his head off trying duplicate you?

Everybody can agree that frequently stupid is funny, but you don't have to be stupid to be funny.

Squeezing until drops of money fall from the lifeless corpse is my specialty. And I imagine there are many others with that particular skill.

PS: And given the circumstances, many of us wouldn't even charge the judgment holder.

I doubt if "The Onion" would consider a parody of this sort.

There are legal issues that can arise with any parody so if you are seriously considering a video of this sort, have it reviewed by an attorney in your area prior to publication. I can almost guarantee you will become a very unpopular videographer if you follow through with the idea. I would hope you are smarter than this.

edit to add: Stupid and bad taste do not equal parody.

Are you sure about that? They seem to embody them some stupid bad taste.

"Onion Talks: Hypothetically It Would Be Okay To Have Sex With A Robot Dog"
"Experts: Ebola Vaccine At Least 50 White People Away"
"Unpopular Police Officer Thinking About Committing Racially Motivated Offense For A Little Support"

Those are just from today. To me, it seems they will kick themselves for not getting on top of a Russian Roulette ice bucket challenge for suicide prevention parody.

See? Tranquility gets it! xD

So you want to follow all the idiots as they jump off a bridge?????? Didn't your parent teach you better?

FYI: Judgements will follow you for many YEARS.
