The SC actually decided something else. They decided that you can't defend your product's only branding as parody, whatever form it takes. If something is your trademark, you have to defend it from being an infringement of someone else's trademark solely on the basis of customer confusion (i.e. prove that the accuser is wrong in saying that their customers would buy your products in confusion).
You can use someone else's trademarks in your parody, but only if that parody is branded differently (e.g. the Barbie Girl song was not branded using Barbie logos, it was using AQUA's logos).
