Robin Thicke's Controversial 'Rape' Song Banned!

The University of Edinburgh, in Britain has banned Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' from being played on campus!


The song features lyrics such as 'I’ll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two', the American’s international number one has sparked widespread criticism of sexism and been accused of referring to non-consensual sex in lines like 'I hate these blurred lines, I know you want it' and 'must wanna get nasty' 

Thicke has dismissed accusations of rape connotations as ‘ridiculous’, insisting to GQ magazine that he has 'always respected women'. 



A PHD Student from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow pointed out - I think the whole thing can be summarised if one adapts the EUSA quote a tad from: "The solution to sexual violence is for rapists to stop raping, not for women to restrict their movement" to "The solution to sexual violence is for rapists to stop raping, not for Edinburghers to censor people's choice to listen to shit music."

This  feminist parody of the controversial song featured below, is now circulating social media sites:
