Forget Facebook, daddio, because Lifeinvader is where the cool kids are at. Yes, Lifeinvader is a social network parody launched by Rockstar ahead of Grand Theft Auto 5's arrival next week, and it likely features some of the characters and brands from the game itself.

The site loads up various profiles when accessed, including ones for returning soda Sprunk, hairdresser Herr Kutz Barber, and Redwood Cigarettes, the latter running a promo for 10 percent off your first visit to a hospital when you "stalk" them on Lifeinvader.

GTA 4 had plenty of parody websites, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Lifeinvader in GTA 5 when it launches on Xbox 360 and PS3 on September 17. We'll avoid detailing its content any further for those who want to go in knowing as little as possible, but we must mention some of the Lifeinvader taglines, because they're great: "Portray the life you want online," "Make friends with strangers," and "Making the private public," are a few of the best.

Right, now to post this on Facebook ...

Yes this is real.

Was actually going to create a thread about it this morning, but wasn't too familiar with the general format on these boards without simply copy/pasting. xD

Despite being rather simple of a site (just the occasional random advertisement page for products in the game), it's pretty amusing. Limited to content, however.

I just went to the real website and one of the random profiles had an update that had me laughing hard.
