FAQ's about THE DANGEROUS BOOK FOR DOGS:
A PARODY BY REX AND SPARKY
WHAT IS PARODY? You know, it's that thing you do when something
just needs to be made fun of. Something important, or something
famous. Something grave. Something that lots of people take very very
seriously.
WHO ARE REX AND SPARKY? Rex and Sparky are dogs! That's
why their names are Rex and Sparky!
ARE REX AND SPARKY ALLOWED TO
POKE FUN AT BOYS AND THEIR BOOKS? Oh, yes indeed. Just as long
as they are very clear about who they are
and what they're up to.
WHY DO REX AND SPARKY KEEP REMINDING YOU THAT THIS IS A PARODY? Because that's all it is. The last thing Rex and Sparky want is
for
you to be confused and buy their book by mistake. The second to
last
thing Rex and Sparky want is to be accused of infringing anyone's
intellectual property rights. And as they teach all the puppies
in
graduate school, "a non-infringing parody is merely amusing, not
confusing"! |
