"Blurred Lines" banned by another University

                   Robin Thicke's controversial 'Blurred Lines' song has been banned from playing in any of the University of Edinburgh's student buildings. A DJ was ordered to fade out the track at a silent disco on Sunday night despite students having the choice to turn off the song by switching to another channel on their headphones, according to a report from student website The Tab. Featuring lyrics such as I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two, the American's international number one has sparked world widespread criticism of sexism and been accused of referring to non-consexual sex in lines like 'I hate these blurred lines', I know you want it' and 'must wanna get nasty.'

                          A feminist parody, temporarily removed from YouTube recently, saw three New Zealand law students reverse the gender roles of Thicke's original video in a stance against female objection. 'Defined Lines' presents men with dog leashes around their necks, dressed in their underwear, being squirted with cream and feeding the women cake. We wanted to take a stance and say that it is not not acceptable to objectify women in such a way. The song suggests there are blurred lines in sexual consent and obviously there are not. It's important that our venues are all safe spaces, which is why we chose to ban the song."

                           The University of the West of Scotland says it won't play the song until a student council decides whether it  would like it played. Campus president at the University of the West of Scotland, says: "Blurred Lines has been banned at our university. The song has been suspended in all student union bars until it is taken to student council for the students to make a final decision. The solution to sexual violence is for rapists to stop raping, not for women to restrict their movement, the mission statement reads. Eusa Vice president services Kirsty Haigh said: "The decision to ban 'Blurred Lines' from our venues has been taken as it promotes an unhealthy attitude towards sex and consent. Eusa has a policy on zero tolerance towards sexual harrassment, a policy to end lad culture on campus and a safe space policy, all of which this song violates."

                          Blurred Lines has been the fastest selling digital song in history, reaching number one in 14 countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Germany, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. The song is currently the longest-running number-one single of 2013 in Australia and New Zealand, and in the US, where it was at the top of the charts for 12 weeks.
