[Viral] Want2BSquare
Toyota Scion viral ads...

I was at the movies sitting through previews when a very horror film-esque one came on. These people were turning their heads into squares by locking them in giant metal cubes. They were speaking Russian or something like it, and one of them turned out normal and went ballistic. The end of the commercial flashed a website: Want2BSquare.com

I went there and it was a 3D miniworld where everything was square. A quick google brought up all of one article saying that it was a viral for the Toyota Scion. Does anyone know if this is true? Furthermore, do you think it could be an ARG?

Just something interesting.
