Is a parody Twitter account legal?

Asked by pallen123 (1519points) February 13th, 2011

A friend of mine has setup a Twitter account labelled “The Fake XYZ Organizaton”—and is tweeting humorous comments critical of the organization, as though he were the head of it. If the account/site is clearly labelled “Fake” is there any legal precedent for libel or defamation?
