Screw You, Facebook: Grand Theft Auto V Brings us the Mock-tastic ‘Lifeinvader’ Viral Site

bill-swift - September 14, 2013

Social media sees all, knows all, and shares all with everyone else in the bastard world. In the information age, a guy can inadvertently fondle a less-than-womanly ‘woman' in an alley (It was dark, and I was drunk! A set of big ol' hairy balls alone isn't going to tip me off!*) and arrive home to find his shameful exploits already Facebook status-ed, retweeted, favorited, commented on, liked, blogged and everything else-ed.

Meanwhile, Instagram doesn't give a rat's ass, as they're all otherwise occupied uploading images of every damn meal they eat.

Anyway, in conclusion, there's no damn privacy to be had anywhere. Mark Zuckerberg knows everything, from the time you take your morning dump to the circumference of Grandma's areolae. It's like Nineteen Eighty-Four, with less Big Brother and more little thumbs-up symbols to click.

Grand Theft Auto V's parody lifeinvader, then, is as entertaining as it is far too damn close to the truth. This recently-launched viral site consists of fanpages for various people and companies/brands from the games (such as Redwood ‘Be a real man. Smoke Redwood' Cigarettes). You can hit a button marked 'stalk' to show your support for them; it's all a little too on the nose for us.
