No one doubts that Paula Patton's cheating husband Robin Thicke is probably not the nicest guy. After the way the Canadian pop star has been acting, anyone in their right minds would be done with him. But just because the "Blurred Lines" singer made provocative choices before his wife split, doesn't mean that Robin is pro-rape, though it reportedly has been suggested by rape victims during at least one concert confrontation.
No one blames Paula Patton for taking her time reconciling with Robin Thicke, if that is ultimately what she plans to do.
It wasn't enough for Robin to act like a jerk before their break, Thicke has also been showing how insensitive he is to her feeling now that they've split--telling People that he is happier now than he's ever been:
"We're both very happy right now--much happier.
"Everything about this moment in my life--this amazing year I just had and what I'm going through personally-has actually ignited some of the best writing I've done in a long time."
Though Robin clearly isn't very sensitive to a woman's feelings, that surely doesn't automatically mean that he is a rapist or pro-rape.
But that's not what Jill Morris and Lane Moore of the Onion think, however.
In an article for Huffington Post, Morris reports that she and her friend pretended to have been raped in order to make Mr. Thicke feel bad about a song he sings:
"The song...titled 'Blurred Lines'-something that rape apologists say in an effort to avoid dealing with the pervasive problem of rape, so that they may continue their day, doing whatever it is that people who don't believe rape happens do.
"We confronted Robin Thicke, in character, and told him about real-life rapes through those characters. The result was him being extremely nice and extremely Ken-doll-like.
"We filmed it on spy hats, but the spy hats crapped out right before the meet and greet."
First of all, no one is buying that crap about your cameras messing up right before you met Robin.
Secondly, pretending to be a rape victim, in order to get recognition at work, exploits actual victims of rape, as well as promotes the very dangerous and completely inaccurate stereotype that many women who claim to have been raped are making it up.
Just what it the hell is going on over at your newspaper, Ariana?
Next week should we expect a bunch of your staffers to pretend to be wrongly imprisoned jihadists on the White House lawn?
