Branding and child exploitation

Recently we were shocked and appalled by the controversial advertising campaign conducted by the so called brand Balenciaga. The true colors of the brand were revealed when they exploited children by making them carry toy bears dressed in what can only be described as bondage gear. The children who only exhibited innocence on their faces were photographed in several positions carrying or laying next to the inappropriate toys.

Given that this is a world famous brand belonging to a leading country; Spain I question where is the children’s rights? Where is the children’s sense of safety and security when opting to model for such a brand. Upon further investigations it appears that the brands stylist Lotta Volcova’s designs promote devil worshipping, abuse murder and child exploitation. Thus I hold the modeling agency, the brand, the parents of those children, the photographers and even the internal staff completely accountable for sending the perverse message. I think it is safe to say that boycotting the brand is the least we can do. Shame on you Balenciaga and any brand that decides to take advantage of innocent children. This is utterly nauseating.

The brand already makes millions of dollars in revenue and yet they still decided to exploit those innocent children. Children should be allowed to live in a world where they feel safe and nurtured not abused and exploited in such an unimaginable manner.

So from today I am boycotting and getting rid of any traces of brands that abuse children, disrespect religions or fund terrorists. I believe that us as honest citizens also have a role to play in stopping such absurdness and it starts with boycotting.
