Today we're talking about Balenciaga's horrifying ad campaign. The campaign, which has faced intense backlash, featured children posing with the company's BDSM-themed items (including a teddy bear backpack), while set dressing for one photo includes a document from a court case about child pornography. The ads were removed from circulation, and Balenciaga issued something of an apology, while also blaming others for the ad. In the end, who is responsible, and where were the parents? We look into these questions and discuss why this response from Balenciaga is not good enough. Then, we talk about Tia Mowry's divorce announcement, in which she claims she put "self-love" over keeping her marriage going. We explain why this is the ultimate selfish decision, why it's detrimental for the kids involved, and why the ever-growing philosophy of "choosing your own happiness" is poisonous.\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(00:44) Intro: Thanksgiving recap, illness, and Christmas merch\n(08:20) Balenciaga ad campaign\n(47:41) Tia Mowry's divorce & self-love\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nAnnie's Kit Clubs \u2014 all subscriptions are month-to-month, and you can cancel anytime!
