Re: when and where to sign up for panels?
I think MST3K is different from "hatin'."
Parody should poke fun at something in a gentle way, not because you hate it or think it's stupid, but because sometimes it's fun to laugh at your own silliness (let's face it, some of G1 Megatron's plans were way over the top). Parodies are enjoyed the most by people who are familiar with the original work, after all.
I wouldn't want to go to a panel that was only about bashing, pointing out flaws, or complaining, but something with a funny parody would be a good laugh.
