No, because that's protected by parody rights.

Lets say, however, that we wanted to use MegaCo's name. MegaCo is a
registered trademark. Using the name MegaCo to try to push our product

own name as an endorsement of a product.

You are in a maze of twisty intellectual property lawyers. They are
very expensive. I suggest getting out fast.
