VATG Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Article taken from Wired (www.wired.com) published on November 2, 2011, by Chris Kohler. www.wired.com/gamelife/2011/11/grand-theft-auto-v-parodies One of the underappreciated charms of the Grand Theft Auto series is the care that Rockstar lavishes on the satirical in-game products, most of which are advertised on billboards and signs throughout its realistic virtual cities. Most of them are funny, some are insightful, a handful are not safe for work. (The mousepad I'm using right now is a promo item based on Grand Theft Auto IV's chain of internet cafes, which are named "[email protected]") Rockstar released the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto V on Wednesday, and brief as it may be, the video's Los Angeles-style city is filled with early glimpses at the parody brands that populate the upcoming game. Here's what we caught. Above: Pump Buddy Magazine Slogan: "Plenty of issues to work out!" The "pump buddy" in question may not just be an exercise pal. This up-and-coming skyscraper brought to you by STD Contractors. Slogan: "When it pings, eat like kings!" Absolutely definitely has nothing at all to do with California's famous In-N-Out Burger, I'm sure. But I hardly even know her! When there's no choice but to pump and run. Slogan: "Deliciously Infectious!" Now with 100% more escherichia coli. Slogan: "Putting the FU in Fumigate!" Caveat emptor: May be a front for armed gangsters looking to break into your house. Not Seven-Eleven, of course. Why would you think that? When things need to get smashed. My car makes a statement about me, and that statement is I'm dumb.

mediocore Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Notice how the Pump Buddy gym also has yellow spray paint on the sign so it says Bum Buddy. Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamieleng Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I can't wait to see what new parody products will be added to the GTA universe. Especially as they are one of the few things that can cross the generational gap. Test-ease Pregnancy Test anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
