So yes, you can photoshop it for comedy effect, you can copy bits of it for illustrative purposes and so on, but you can't steal it and pass it off as your own.

I was curious who would pay to keep a joke domain name and website up for 20+ years, and it turns out it’s Chelsea Peretti (Brooklyn 99) and her brother Jonah Peretti (Buzzfeed and HuffPo).
