Here’s a happy Valentine’s day message from Psyop. It all started cavity-sweet until the back-shaving, tooth-pulling, organ-dissembling and decapitating happened.
And what’s going on with the gaunt stranger giving away razorblades, candy and saws of varying strength?
Wait a second … we get it now! This is based on “The Gift of the Magi,” isn’t it? You know, the story where that couple buys gifts for each other at the expense of something they love, and the things they get directly relate to the stuff they give away, so neither can use their gift, and they’re both miserably poor, so all they have left at the end is each other?
Wow. Brutal interpretation, Psyop. But hey, the ending is less pathetic (and way more literal) than O. Henry’s version.
Oh, and for those dying to know, the song is by VHS or BETA and it is called “Love in My Pocket,” which now we won’t be able to listen to without thinking of … scissors.
Anyway, we went ahead and sent the message to everybody we love.
