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?

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.
