I'm starting a website with a few buddies. We want to include a humorous section making fun of a popular social website, using a word that rhymes with the aforementioned site. It will be part of a much larger site, with the similarities between the two pretty much being the similarity in name and a few jabs at the site's function. Would I be able to make the logo similar enough to the actual website's so that the joke would be easier realized, or would that be copyright infringement? Afterall, it is a joke, and as far as I know you cannot copyright a joke. Thank you for your help!

If you can make sure that there is a "30% difference" between the original and your work, then you should be able to to make this work. What you need to be careful of --- is having a measurable change. If you make vague changes, it may not fall into the ≥30% eligibility. It may be the a change to the layout of the site or logo or slogan or name of site, but it MUST be a change ≥30%.
