Social Craze: Robin Thicke’s epic Twitter fail

The perception of pop star Robin Thicke has been seen to cross, to borrow a song, Blurred Lines.

The perception of pop star Robin Thicke has been seen to cross, to borrow a song, Blurred Lines. The song of the same name has been the subject of bans across several university campuses in the UK, as well as raised questions on the perception of women through the lyrics.

Additionally, Thicke has recently made headlines with regard to his relationship with his former wife, the actress Paula Patton.

So, on 1 July, Thicke held a Twitter chat with the American broadcaster VH1.

 

 

While he was there to promote his new album, Paula (said to be named for Patton), the subject of the questions were off limits, and when it comes to Twitter, nothing is off limits. As a result, a number of messages came in, either sarcastic or critical of his treatment of women, causing a derailment of the chat’s original purpose.

 

However, some tweets did discuss his music and his relationship.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But still, the subject of the tweets were mainly responding to his controversial persona, with many saying this left the purpose of the chat unaccomplished.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A telephone message to a VH1 spokesperson regarding this chat was not returned.
