look closely at this Balenciaga ad and what do you see?

---

a kid laying on a couch with some ugly looking smock and shoes.

---

no one is hiring you as a police detective.

there are empty wine glasses, a young child, and the bear is decked out in BDSM.

if that's all okay with you, well...

---

What is BDSM about the bear?

---

Tanya. You can't be this dense.

---

Are you new here?

---

Yes

So please explain what is BDSM about the bear.

What's going on over here?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the androgynous look of the kids either. I am fairly certain those are boys.

Posted on another thread (MY BAD):

Go to Google and translate Latin to English and type in the following:

"Baal Enci Aga"

And you get "Baal Is The King"

This company is beyond sick and twisted. I am almost fine with giving people a week to burn/throw away their Balenciaga clothing and then greenlighting anyone who still wears the brand in public for an old fashioned ass whoopin after that time has expired.

---

I've tried to find that imageb with baal on the caution tape and I can only find a lower resolution image, but it doesn't look like baal in the original image, looks Photoshopped to me.

Can you provide the source of the image or story you got that from?

bear on the left is the same one in the picture with the kid laying down. It is wearing a BDSM leather and steel harness. The full picture that shows under the table includes a spike collar dog bowl, leash and other BDSM items that are popular in that arena of kink.

Thank you.

The pic I looked at didn't have the full image of the bear.

I just didn't see it

It looked like the bear had headphones to me.

Here is a question I have for you concerned moderates:

Which situation would you be ok with:

A) The children took a picture in a "green" room and what you see is what happened on a computer, or

B) children took the pictures that you see with grown ups around.

Upon further review, it could very well be doctored (not that it changes much). It is probably this same stuff, and some loser probably doctored it after seeing that Google translates "Baal Enci Aga" to "Baal is The king".



This type of sh** (if fake/doctored image) does such a disservice to the cause sometimes that it almost seems like it's pushed out intentionally by the guilty parties to make anyone speaking out against this type of perversion look crazy. Seems like an effective way to diffuse any controversy, as demented leftists can just say "see, they're doctoring images, there is nothing to see here!".

Prob just some troll job by a loser in his mom's basement though.

It's wearing a leather harness and a studded collar. Definitely a look that comes from the kink world, although it has also been appropriated for decades by punk and other alt-subcultures.

This was covered in the Glenn Beck video posted earlier. That doesn't mean it's confirmed real, but Beck usually does a pretty good job sorting out the fake stuff. The tape with the correct spelling used as a costume was from a different event and not necessarily related to the photo other than similarity of the tape.

Go read the link I posted earlier. The hidden stuff here that people are glossing over are the child porn easter egg references throughout. But keep on goal tending an extremely no brainer topic where the answer is obvious.

I think we all get the historic punk rock / fake satanic stuff from the music industry and whatnot. The issue here is the ongoing war on children and blatant exploitation of them.

Also, Balenciaga has now sued this marketing agency for several million dollars.

---

The stuff is nuts once you start zooming in on it. Also the child porn legal document under the purse and Italian photographer trying to make the case for child porn is highly disturbing,

Lastly, this is what they call a "model" nowadays? Even with makeup, this person looks like she's from "The Hills Have Eyes". I miss the days of Cindy Crawford and Nikki Taylor

I just think its a dumb ad. CM and a good portion of libs will think it's dumb and inappropriate. Any type of BDSM stuff and kids is a no no, even if subtle or questionable. What's with the wine glasses? Right wingers are going to start spouting some crap about BAAL or Moloch or Frost Giants or a Yeti or some other fictional creature and some nut will show up like the PizzaGate guy with an AR or AK and trigger the whole gun control crowd.

I don't think the kids are going to know what BDSM is. They probably just think it's an ugly stuffed animal. This whole thing reminds me of a Church Lady SNL skit.

Ha... Who's doing all of the finger wagging these days? Not the right... the Church blue-haired nose ring woke lady is now clearly on the progressive left!

Just a friendly reminder:

So the official take from the godless baby killing left is this:

"Incorporating young children with overt themes of pedophilia-bondage/satanism/murder is so raw and edgy! Those stupid conservatives just don't 'get art' man!!!"

I sh** you not. That is what they are all saying.

---

There are some "edgy" artists who get attention by generating imagery that offends hard core Christians. Remember the dude that put a cross in a jar of pee and called it "art"? Marilyn Manson and his stupid albums and images? Pantera, Judas Priest, etc.... Madonna kissing a chick (was it Britney) on stage? Miley Cyrus and pics of her vag?

The easiest way to fame/infamy when you are being ignored as an "artist" is to piss off overreactive Christians.

---

This is a high end luxury clothing line, combining kink bondage (and some other very dark/deviant themes) with REAL innocent children. These weren't drawings or paintings by some desperate weirdo artist trying to get noticed.

And regarding your bolded statement. It's no surprise, but very telling that this type of sick crap doesn't piss off the left.

---

So… it's intentional Outrage Marketing scheme that went big and got big results - and their target audience will like them more for their right-wing-angering debauchery.

Their world is crumbling and they are about to be exposed. Won't be for the weak.

A dumb ad? Dumb means mute. You may mean stupid. I agree. But it IS an advertisement. An advertisement has meaning. You say kids don't know what it means, and you are right. In good households they are going to ask their parents. In others where kids are given devices to shut them up, the outcome could be completely different.

there is zero doubt that the ad agency Balenciaga hired for this campaign is led by an actual female Satanist who is into cannibalism and kiddie pron..

---

The ads are weird and in bad taste but an ad agency lady posting what would pass for 70's heavy metal album covers on instagram a number of years ago leaves room for me to doubt she is "an actual satanist who is into cannibalism."

---

I gave you a star

but you just don't know what you are talking about in this instance. It's not me claiming she is a satanist- Lotta Volkova HERSELF claims she is a satanist!

---

Again, wearing the t-shirt of a shock-rock band I have actually seen in concert doesn't feel like proof beyond a shadow of a doubt that she's literally murdering and eating people for Satan.

---

Who the **** would go see a band like that?

I know nothing of the family name or history and their ad stuff is at minimum bizarre…But if you're trying to create Baal from Bal in someone's name…then it may be problematic. Cristobal is Spanish meaning bearing Christ. And Cristobal is the first name of the founder. I don't think I'd ad an 'A' and claim there was something nefarious. But I also didn't believe Journey's album covers were satanic

The actual name also means "do as thou wilt" which is a Satanic occult phrase.

What language?

dead said:

Latin

Google translates it's a bit different but it's close enough.

So it's both "Baal is the king" and "do as thou wilt"?

You guys will literally believe any stupid translation someone makes up, wont you?

love how there were a few early on this thread claiming "oh there is nothing to see here it's just you making @#$@# up"

then BALENCIAGA themselves sue the crap out of the ad agency for this.

but yeah, nothing there at all to see...
