    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 "tw@.") Rockstar released [the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto V](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/gamelife/2011/11/grand-theft-auto-5-trailer/) 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.
