    Fashion Brand in Hot Water after Ad Campaign Hints at “Baal”, Child Abuse

    By

    A Twitter account called “shoe” recently found and posted some images from an absolutely horrifying advertising campaign for the fashion brand Balenciaga, one in which children were put in BDSM costumes and surrounded with even creepier imagery, including a Supreme Court case regarding child pornography. Here that is:

    The scoop was so shocking and horrifying that Twitter added a note to that shocking post saying:

    Although Shoe often makes comments to cause amusement or laughter, this is an authentic Balencia marketing photograph: balenciaga.dam.kering.com/m/7d6d72f3dfc4… It contains an [excerpt] from the US Supreme Court opinion in United States v. Williams, which upheld part of a federal child pornography law.

    The same account also noted that Balenciaga ditched Twitter shortly after Elon took over Twitter and began waging war on child pornography on the platform.

    More creepy images from the ad campaign emerged too, such as this one:

    “How about the picture of the Devil on the shelf? The drawing to the right of that looking like a body after being dismembered. Duct tape being stacked infront of his feet. Bad taste.”

    “Bad taste” indeed. Other users pointed out the creepiness of some of the other imagery in that photograph:

    Oh, and the brand included a reference to “Baal”, a god from the ancient Phonecians that children were sacrificed too:

    The Baal imagery was particularly disturbing given Balenciaga’s hell-themed photo shoot:

    Balenciaga (or is it now “Baalenciaga”?) apologized for the incredibly disturbing ad campaign in its Instagram story, saying:

    “We sincerely apologize for any offense our holiday campaign may have caused. Our plush bear bags should not have been featured with children in this campaign. We have immediately removed the campaign from all platforms.”

    The company also apologized for the disturbing inclusion of the Supreme Court case about child porn, saying:

    “We take this matter very seriously and are taking legal action against the parties responsible for creating the set and including unapproved items for our spring ’23 campaign photoshoot.We strongly condemn abuse of children in any form. We stand for children safety and well-being.”

    But while the general public reacted with horror to the Balenciaga ad campaign, the MSM and Big Tech couldn’t seem to care less about the scandal, as Tucker Carlson pointed out, saying:

    “Here is a high-end retailer promoting kiddie porn in an ad on Instagram and nobody notices. There’s no boycott. There’s no front-page New York Times editorial against it. And of course Instagram let the advertisement run, endorsing kiddie porn.”

    Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton made a similar point, saying:

    Has @Meta’s @Instagram explained why it allowed the Balenciaga child porn ads on its platform?

    Also pointed out was that celebrities involved in promoting the brand were silent about the shocking, horrifying pictures:

    Also, where is the disapproval from celebrities that heavily endorse this brand like @KimKardashian and Nicole Kidman? So far silence. Why?
