Before, gay portrayals in the media were so limiting, like a caricature of a homo. A parody almost.

Manila Luzon

There is parody, when you make fun of people who are smarter than you; satire, when you make fun of people who are richer than you; and burlesque, when you make fun of both while taking your clothes off.

P. J. O'Rourke

You can parody almost anything.

Bruce McCall

We may say that hysteria is a caricature of an artistic creation, a compulsion neurosis a caricature of a religion, and a paranoiac delusion a caricature of a philosophic system.

Richard Branson
