No, not if they're public figures.

My rule of thumb is that it's never illegal unless you enjoyed it...

i know in the US it could be considered slander? Mebbe... Suppose you could get away with it if you had a disclaimer before or after the little show saying "all people portrayed is fictional" sorta like the thing they have on Law and Order

No, the Extreme Porn Laws aren't aimed at mainstream SM.

I'm not American but I'd be surprised if lampooning the Prez is an offence, even in an M/s setting. Might be a different matter if you're planning to make money from them but I'm sure someone will be along who knows all. But I'd leave Vladimir Putin (Rusky Prez) out of them - or hire your own wine-taster!

Focus.

Here is your answer...

Hustler Magazine, Inc. et al. v. Jerry Falwell

In the United States, the Supreme Court ruled years ago that satire of a political or public figure is covered under the First Amendment, even if the political figure does not understand the joke.

There ya go!
