You can do parody all you want - providing you have the RIGHTS to use the image. Hustler can parody Fallwell in images because they have obtained the rights to use the basic image, they didn't just crop it out of a newspaper and fuck with it.

Buuzzzz. Wrong answer!
I'm not a lawyer either, but ...
- Yes the clips of people's faces on Hustler's Asshole of the Month feature came from whatever was handy (and I think there is court precedent on this one too, btw)
- 32 years of cut out newspaper photos on the Weekend Update report on Saturday Night Live.
- The edited mix of real news interviews with their own comic reporters on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
... Eh, I had more, but that's enough examples.
