I think that by having a too diversified TLD setup, we make our service
LESS user friendly. We should be expanding TLDs based on large desire,
not simply because someone "thinks it would be cool". Case and
Point .P2P it came out of a pre-defined need, and we know that after its
all up and going... there will be a large number of users.

.parody sites can be registered on .free since parodies are Fair Use (ie
"Free", or .geek as it seems to be a nice catch-all TLD)... so it's not
like there is no place for these websites. It just seems like a very
very niche community that doesn't really need a TLD. 

So if this came to vote, I would be in support of dropping .parody
