Honestly, I don't know, what I should make out of this.
First, someone found that:
Obey pizza with Shepard Fairey and Pizza Rules!

Then I remembered, that I had seen the OBEY-topic today already.
It was here:
SPiN
OBEY theme
I think the art is interesting, as it uses double negation:
"Do not trust your eyes - believe what you are told" - and then on the picture "climate change" is told to the people in the media by The Sun - which intellectual leftists despise.
People shall believe, while the newspaper covers the eyes, so they cannot see what's really going on.
So taking the picture seriously, it says: climate change is told to you by the media, you do not use your eyes.
But most people watching the picture probably will not recognize the double negation.
Now it's becoming interesting: Susan Sarandon is the owner of SPiN:
Spin, a Susan Sarandon-owned ping pong bar/restaurant, coming to San Francisco
Interview with Sarandon
As can be seen in the video, she can't play ping pong.
I think she is a really good actress. And in this interview she clearly and intentionally expresses a kind of "don't take serious, what I am saying": for example "ping pong is the future". Not difficult for such a good actress. It's almost like she says with a blinking eye: "ping pong is a codeword and it's the future".
And if her words are meant literally: why should ping pong be the future? Is everyone becoming a ping pong player, because nobody knows it?
While I doubt that George Clooney has not enough rooms and friends to play ping pong at home, I also find the old sucker in the video interesting, who seems by far not fit enough to play decently pingpong, but who somehow mysteriously loves ping pong. And btw, is interviewed in an extra room.
Just shallow art or art as mirror - displaying that people do not use their eyes to see what is really going on?

Some business models are incredible...

That proves what?

50 - 100 $ per hour? For table tennis?! Seriously?

Are the tables well booked? I mean restaurant space is expensive. And these tables use a LOT of space where otherwise tables and chairs and bars could generate revenue.

let's be careful here. Her politics are 100 percent anti-Hillary. Some people could actually just like ping-pong. I know I played it a lot in college. Let's calm down here!

A good cover IS convincing.
Why is Sarandon in the interview not really describing a business and saying "ping pong is the future" with blinking eye?
Why is ping pong the future?
Why is ping pong for the old fart so interesting?
You say it yourself. As youngster. Not as adult. And did you play "ping pong", like the kids, or did you play "table tennis"?
And where did you play? In dark bars with bad air?
And did you wear street shoes and casual wardrobe, or did you wear sport clothing?
What do you say to the "Come and play with me" picture?

@micha_, would you mind adding a line at the top of this post explicitly spelling out what the hell you are saying? What's the hypothesis here? You've given a bunch of links to stuff, but what are they evidence of? If you can't articulate it, it's going to be removed per Rule 1. We are not keen on forum-sliding baffle-with-bullshit posts here; it's a regular shill tactic. Thanks.

Sure. Done.

I do not think Sarandon is evil. Not a big fan of her. I just don't see her knowlingly backing something sick. I think AJ uses ping pong as a smoke screen.

She was also in the movie "Ping Pong Summer".
I made a thread about it, https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1611731

Interestingly, she's happens to be anti-Hillary and advised people not to vote for her.

A simple google search should do. It was broadly covered.
