Flynt vs. Falwell was a libel/intentional infliction of emotional distress case. The Supreme Court ruling was that there would be no recovery when the parody cold be understood by a reasonable reader as intended to covey actual facts. The case really has no application to copyright infringement.
Sorry, just had to show off.
