It can still count as parody even if some people got genuinely confused. Consider that some people get fooled by articles from The Onion.

A more apt comparison would be if someone was fooled by an Onion article on the domain
http://www.cnn-news.com
that had CNN at the top of the page. I'd imagine the vast majority of people would simply assume that was CNN.
