Explained here, yesterday saw ‘VH1’ announce that they were to host a Q&A session with the star on ‘Twitter’ using the hashtag #AskThicke.

Unfortunately, the singer soon discovered that inviting members of the public to pick his brains might not have been the brightest of ideas, after being accused of endorsing rape culture with the single ‘Blurred Lines’ and doing the pelvic mamba with willing groupies…despite being married to actress Paula Patton.
