Twitter Q&A goes wrong for Robin Thicke

10:18 am on 2 July 2014

Twitter is quick to jump all over people it sees as having done some wrong. So when Robin Thicke’s marketing team decided #askthicke was a good idea, you have to wonder what they were thinking.

Thicke’s song ‘Blurred Lines’ has been widely criticised as trivilasing sexual violence, and spurred several feminist parodies.

Now Thicke is using his new album release to win back his estranged wife, Paula Patton. “Even if #GetHerBack doesn’t resurrect his marriage, Thicke will still make a profit from record sales and touring, so total win-win, right?” writes Soraya Nadia McDonald.

 

Thicke’s reponse? He’s a big boy. He can handle it.
