Robin Thicke’s Twitter Q&A Goes Horribly Wrong: The Best-Worst Tweets From #AskThicke
Robin Thicke probably didn't want it
What could possibly go wrong? Everything, it would seem.
Robin Thicke found himself in the firing line today after VH1's Twitter Q&A session with the 'Blurred Lines' singer went horribly, horribly awry.
The controversial 37-year-old singer was inundated with mickey taking tweets during the #AskThicke Twitter takeover.
Let's take a look at some of the best-worst tweets...
The same joke seemed to come up A LOT. But this by no means is to say it got old...

Robin Thicke: "I want to do an #AskThicke thing on twitter. Good idea? PR Advisers: "NO!" Thicke: "We all know what that word really means."

#AskThicke Do you need some lessons in using social media? If you say "No", we both know that actually means "Yes".

Misogyny was also a hot topic

#AskThicke When you're not busy objectifying women, making light of rape and justifying sexual violence, how do you like to relax?

#askthicke when you "wrote" Blurred Lines did you do a jump and say "wow! Men and those other objects are going to love this!"?

How many points do you get in Scrabble for 'mysogynist'? #askthicke

Life choices were then questioned
#AskThicke What's it like being the human personification of a mid life crisis?

This kind-hearted tweeter was trying to give him a heads up
#askthicke do you still see blurred lines? If so, that might be gout.

And finally, this guy simply summed up the success of the takeover
#AskThicke Do you have any big regrets? Other than this hashtag, obvs.

Oh dear, Robin. But at least you trended, eh?
