You are free to post it on your site, but please don't post it on ours.

For parody to be legal, there has to be a meaningful connection between the subject of the parody and the ultimate message. In other words, you can't take, say, the Microsoft logo and use it to make a parody about evil corporations destroying the ozone layer. Also, the parody has to be sufficiently distinct from the original to be recognizable as a parody.
Your parody is not distinct from the original. With the exception of the three changed letters, it looks exactly like the BearShare logo.
