==Commercials==
==Commercials==
The myriad commercials that appear throughout the game deserve a special mention. They are all written by [[Dan Houser]] and [[Lazlow]] (the latter of whom also produced them). They are fairly convincing as real adverts as they adhere to many typical marketing clichés and tricks. Several adverts mention telephone numbers and official websites. Rockstar actually created these websites, and though many links just eventually lead back to the Rockstar site, some are really quite detailed. The [http://www.petsovernight.com Petsovernight.com] website displays pictures of animals and promises "If it's got a central nervous system, we've got it ready to go in a box to your house", tying in with the humour in the commercials.

Some examples of commercials within the game are: the Maibatsu [[Monstrosity]] adverts ("Mine is bigger!"), [[Fernando's New Beginnings]] ("A revolutionary new way to save your marriage."), the given phone number of which is 555-9292, and the new video game Pogo the Monkey ("He's got springs for legs!").

==Non Selectable Radio Stations==
==Unavailable radio stations==
There are several stations that can be seen advertised on billboards throughout Liberty City. However, these are not available for selection at any time during the game and have no songs or DJs associated with them. They are ''[[Liberty FM]]'', ''[[WLLC]]'' ‘The Zone’ and ''[[Liberty Soul FM]]''. It is not clear whether these stations were originally intended to be ‘real’ stations but dropped during development, or if they were simply designed to sit alongside other fake brands advertised in the game.

Another possible non-selectable station is what has been referred to as Orbit FM. However, close inspection of the ad (both in the game and in the instruction manual) shows that the correct name is OR-Bit. There is no ‘FM’ and no evidence that it is a radio station.
