Results: Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines Banned from YouTube
Robin Thicke’s highly publicized song “Blurred Lines” has been accused of being exploitive and degrading towards women as it has topless women parading around Thick and the other male artists (T.I and Pharrell) in the video. Some people have also claimed that the video comes across as a bit “rapey.” The video has received so much criticism that it has been removed from YouTube, and replaced with a cleaner version of the video.
