A parody is defined as a literary or musical work in which the style of the author or work is closely imitated for comic effect or in ridicule.  The concept dates back to Ancient Greek literature, as Hegemon of Thasos was credited with being the first guy to change the words of poems to make them funny.
On [[2009#May|01 May 2009]], for God only knows why, [[Christian Weston Chandler]] took himself to take to Wikipedia. In his short time, he created a user page that is to record one of the most in depth autobiographical accounts of his life (in addition to being a flagrant violating of Wikipedia policy).


In a broader sense, parodies need not be humorous as long as they provide some sort of commentary on the original work.  In that sense, a parody can be considered a sort of critical analysis of the original work.
Ironically, Chris's actual account was deleted by a Wikipedia admin, believing it was actually a troll who made this page. Sadly, as the details show, this is the real Chris, all too real...


For [[Christian Weston Chandler]], the word "parody" is basically a way to secure copyrights for other people's ideas.  You see, parody falls under "fair use" in copyright law, so if [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] is a <i>parody</i> of [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and [[Pokemon]], then it's perfectly legal for Chris to turn Sonichu into a multimedia empire.

Ironically, Chris's actual account was deleted by a Wikipedia admin, believing it was actually a troll who made this page. Sadly, as the details show, this is the real Chris, all too real...
