When VH1 announced that they would be hosting a Q&A with popstar Robin Thicke they probably thought people would have a lot of questions for the singer whose single ‘Blurred Lines’ was one of the most popular of 2013, and they were right.
Last night @VH1 tweeted:
“Have a burning question for @robinthicke? Submit your ?s for tomorrow’s Twitter Q+A using #AskThicke!”
Almost immediately, the hashtag was flooded with people asking about Thicke’s objectification and questionable treatment of women in the popular song ‘Blurred Lines’ and his relationship with Paula Patton, who split up with Thicke earlier this year.
“The #askthicke hashtag is just an example of trolling done for the better good of mankind.”
