Most of the
content of BJAODN is pretty clearly a parody of normal Wikipedia
content. It has a lot in common with the Uncyclopedia (though frankly
Uncyclopedia is amazing).
Firstly, I think to be a parody it has to be intentional. A lot of
BJAODN isn't intentionally a parody. Secondly, that only means the
authors of the BJAODN can use Wikipedia content under fair use, it
doesn't mean other people can use the BJAODN under fair use. Fair use
protects parodies, it doesn't allow people to use someone else's
parody.
If the original authors uploaded it to Wikipedia, then they GFDL'ed
their parody, so we most certainly can make use of it...
