Was never going to go well for him, may have raised VH1's profile though!

MaidOfStars · 01/07/2014 17:43

Dumb. But deserved.

In what way could it be construed as inspired?

AnyFucker · 01/07/2014 20:55

Unfortunately in the ole word of biz that is show, any attention is positive attention and even getting your arse handed to you is welcome publicity

I reckon his PR "team" knew he would get a pasting but deemed that preferable to him sinking back into the quagmire of nameless MOTR misogny he briefly climbed out of by putting dancing topless girls on his VT and "singing" about rape.

Some clever putdowns in the responses but hey I bet his next single will get more attention because of it.

What AF said.

Hassled · 01/07/2014 20:59

It restored my faith in humanity - I was delighted with the "questions". The PR bods must have anticipated some controversy, but I can't imagine they anticipated what they got.

Ffs try again.

The Twitter responses are 'inspired'

Adjective: of extraordinary quality, as if arising from some external, creative impulse.

Not quite sure why you felt the need to question that though. Random!

CelibacyCakeandElevatorMuzac · 01/07/2014 21:25

Seems I am too, OP meant the PR company's decision to do Q&A. I thought they meant the Twitter response. Was it dumb or inspired.

I think his PR company thought he was going to get his 'fans' fawning over him - his lack of response seems to indicate they were not expecting the barrage of abuse!

Would have been interesting to see him try to defend those lyrics!!!!

Lets hope not AF!
Sooner he disappears back in to obscurity the better!

The best way to ensure that happens is to ignore him and anything to do with him. This all over Facebook, Twitter etc as well as MN.

Positive attention innit.

His latest album is a barrage of emotional abuse to win back his wife. I think it's safe to say his career is as dead as his marriage
