Furthermore, the question is of legal risk and of what will ultimately have to be argued in court while facing a 7 or 8 or 9 figure lawsuit... what others have gotten away with is irrelevant to the very real risks.
The only question that matters is "What will Home Depot executives, shareholders and IP Attorneys think". The answer to that should be obvious to anyone.
The answer to that question will determine whether or not you end up being served a massive lawsuit.

I don't think it's a parody. Again, as said in my original post, the image wasn't showing up for me at first, so I thought the Home Depot comments were in regards to the "Depot" part of the name. After I clicked "Submit Reply," I thought, "Hmm, maybe there's more to this." So I typed in the url and then saw the offending images. I edited my post to reflect that, though I could have been a pussy and just completely changed my post.
