I'd say when the parodist has begun quoting the target of the parody directly, as Fey has done, we're getting close.

As a student said in my class the other day: "so, basically, Palin is now writing comedy?"

Yes, yes indeed.

"Video removed due to copyright claim from NBC Universal." Ah. The private interest wins out again. I'll see if I can find a link elsewhere. See youns over there. Sorry about the Cubbies.
