    I love this guy. His name is Matt Benedetto the creator of Unnecessary Inventions.

    He comes up with all kinds of wild ideas like a shower curtain that's also a towel, hair extensions for your eyebrows & a hard hat for your big tow.

    He also received some attention when he created fingerless gloves that looked like crocs & ended up hearing from their lawyers.

    Wouldn't his stuff classify as parody (even if intentionally to
    resemble an existing brand), and therefore be immune to spurious
    litigation?

    He's basically a commedian. Comedians, say a lot of things that
    could otherwise be considered <insert noun of choice>phobic.
