The most sublime parody is always just a lanugo strand more finely exaggerated than reality.

Today, EA, DICE, and IGA announced the first Battlefield 2142 expansion pack, tentatively titled: CYA: Cover Your A$$.

Again teaming up with IGA, and with new corporate sponsors Coca-Cola, McDonalds, and Victoria's Secret, the expansion pack will offer the newest generation of graphics, audio, and 22nd Century weapons and vehicles.

And...

During an interview about the CYA expansion, IGA CEO, Justin Townsend, was particularly excited about this new body armor feature.

"After extensive research of player actions in the game, IGA found that players were spending 80% of their time in the game staring at fellow Squad Members. We realized that this had untapped potential as advertising space."

Not real, of course, but a fine example of humor from the folks at Digital Battle.
