Parody science, sometimes called spoof science, is a parody of science.
Parody sciences have a variety of purposes, ranging from social commentary to making political points, to just plain humor.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Lady Madonna [Single] - The Beatles at Epinions.com
The themes of both songs deal with religion, but the message of each song is diametrically opposed to that of the other.
The ultimate irony of Lady Madonna is the religious hypocrisy that pretends that lust doesn't play a role in organized religion--"Lady Madonna, lying on the bed, listen to the music playing in her head" points up the earthly temptations that even the most religious person is exposed to in everyday life.
Lady Madonna shouldn't be taken seriously at all--it's not meant as an attack on religion, just an adept commentary on how earthly pleasures and temptations conflict with the religious idea of purity.

 Franchised Religion Parody
But I was quite taken aback by this old lady standing outside of the establishment yelling, "Where's the beef?" She was joined by other activists who were questioning the nutritional value of the McDeity product.
This was quite unsettling, and I began to question the ethical implications of buying into the "ground beef religion," especially when society seems to be dying from physical, psychological and spiritual malnourishment.
