Homer in Silicon on Coconut Queen. It’s a polished, shiny time management/tycoon game that exemplifies one of my biggest pet peeves in narrative: leading the player on with story and then not delivering.
Oh, and the island is full of buff half-naked dudes. It’s sort of parodying objectification, but sorta not.

It seems like most (all?) parodies of objectification have to in the process do some sort of objectifying, and a less astute observer might, er, enjoy the results and completely miss the satire.
(Also, I have heard Bayonetta was supposed to be a parody of objectification. Uh-huh.)
Yeah, but Bayonetta really *is* an object. She’s not a real person. That’s why she can play the parody “straight”.
