Boy Meets Girl in Warped World, We Reconsider Merits of Ugly Square Car

The odd hats at ATTIK hustle us back to Want 2 B Square, a macabre interactive world meant to promote the equally macabre (design-wise, anyway) 2008 Scion xB.

Like any interactive world there’s a lot going on, a lot of which we’ve already covered (1, 2). But we did see something new we really like – this video entitled Boy Meets Girl. Directed by Sean Donnelly of Anonymous Content, two square-headed kids play “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours” and instead of baring warped genitalia (as expected) they flip open one another’s heads and explore the contents.

In the same twisted way that one could look at Secretary and call it “a gently bent love story,” one could say Boy Meets Girl blithely expresses the innocence and exchange in that first boy/girl encounter. Gently bent, of course. We dig the campaign more and more.

Enough to nail a Scion? If they keep wooing us like this, we’ll get there.
