What rhymes with disaster? Robin Thicke trolled hard in Twitter Q&A

[Peikko 1,575]

As far as mishaps involving Twitter and pop stars go, we didn't think anything could top the infamous #susanalbumparty hashtag – that's Susan Album Party – which befell Susan Boyle's PR team a couple of years ago. All they wanted was to let people know they would be celebrating Boyle's new CD with some cake and ice cream, but their hashtag looked like it belonged in an adult entertainment store (Su's ####### Bum Party, in case you're still wondering).

One of Robin Thicke's social media advisers, however, seemed to think it was a good idea to allow the singer – who has been at the centre of a barrage of online criticism and accusations of misogyny ever since the release of his Blurred Lines video last summer – to participate in a Q&A session on Twitter with VH1, using the hashtag #AskThicke.

Given that Thicke has no limited number of online detractors, this seemed a foolhardy decision; and especially given the increase in vitriol towards Thicke since he released a stalker-y, awkward video for Get Her Back last week. The song is dedicated to his estranged wife, Paula, taken from the album....er, Paula.

We're not sure quite what Thicke and his people expected, but as every other person in the world anticipated when this Q&A was announced last month, Thicke got absolutely slayed. People either just entirely took the piss, or they used the opportunity as a means of calling Thicke out on his treatment of women. And by his "treatment" of women, we mean his assumption that women enjoy being hit on by sleazy guys like him who have at least 90% more nose-cartilage than is normal and who don't take no for an answer. Here's some of what has been tweeted so far, and it is still going on...

I find this story funny, but I also think the singer/songwriter has a right to write lyrics about anything he wants to and it will not have some apocalyptic impact on relationships towards women, so the vehemence on display as 'anti' Thicke (what a comic genius name) is equally hysterical

That's hilarious.

That's hilarious.

What's also hilarious is that we now cannot speak of the Freudian psychosexual stage of development that is not oral, genital, latent or phallic if the hashes in the OP are anything to go by.

Apparently, no one told Mr. Thicke about what happened when #AskRKelly was launched. This is only good when you DON'T have a ton of dirt out there when you're trying to get your wife back.
