Spin (wearespin.com), as you may already know, is a chain of ping-pong themed bars in 4 US and 1 Canadian city (the San Fancisco location is owned by Susan Sarandon, FWIW). Fine, ping pong is a fun game. But then why...

Why do they this wall of children's pictures featured in the video on their main page? If you go to their main page there is a video that will auto-play. If you pause the video at 0:11 you will see this image of a wall full of pictures of children. While there does appear to be one child holding a tennis racket, it is worth nothing that none of the children are playing ping pong, nor are any of them pictured in any scene or setting any way asscociated with ping pong. Nor are any of the children photographed with parents or any adults. It's just a wall of kid pics.

A little further into the video, at 0:17, we see this odd looking chap. Just, you know, playing ping pong. This same "gentleman" can be found in other still images such as this. Notice that nobody else is dressed in such a costume.

Moving along, at 0:37, we find an "interesting" wall mural with the words "OBEY - never trust your own eyes - believe what you are told". On the far right side of this mural is depicted with a woman holding a newspaper over her eyes (not using her eyes, obeying). The newspaper, telling her what to believe, is covered with stories about global warming. Another picture of the full mural. The artist is someone named Shepard Fairey. You know, the guy who did the iconic "Obama HOPE poster" - the one that got him convicted for "destroying documents and manufacturing evidence.".

There are a few more creepy moments in the video. For those who are interested, here is a direct link to the video itself.

So enough about the video...

It's clear from the branding, and from the images promoted on the web site, as well as the full bars, that this appears to be an adult drinking (and dining - yes, they serve pizza) establishment. But fear not kids, they also offer private events, including "Kid’s birthday parties for boys and girls". On that same page you'll notice they also do "Birthdays" as well as "Other kinds of events that haven’t been invented yet". Apparently, "Balls are my business" is their logo, which they advertise on little boys underwear?!

Other images...

There's this picture of Soo Yeon Lee, international table tennis champion.

Just some paintings of teddy bears in a police lineup.

And that strange dude again. (he actually appears repeatedly in their gallery pages, as does Judah Feidlander)

Probably all means nothing. Or not. Maybe someone here can dig deeper..
