In reply to MattS. So a parody college newspaper (The Onion) claims that Babylon Bee is not a parody site? Somehow I find that less than convincing. Sorry Matt. Next time I'll try to be more obvious with the sarcasm.

For anyone who missed it the first time, First Amendment lawyer Ken White (“Popehat”) was inspired to do his own parody of the Parma Police Department:

Since Ken is a lawyer, every specifically libelous charge is carefully denied, though not a general impression that the Parma PD are humorless morons…
