Does Parker Brothers object to the cards?

Hasbro, which bought out Parker Brothers (and its popular MONOPOLY® board game), indeed objected to the GOOHF card. However, it is a strongly established right in the U.S. to create parodies of popular culture; the GOOHF card is clearly a parody of the MONOPOLY® “Get Out of Jail Free” card. Hasbro demanded that we stop selling the cards, but we refused — it is our right to produce parodies. But for clarity, each GOOHF card contains a disclaimer noting it is not affiliated with Hasbro’s MONOPOLY® in any fashion.
