Robin Thicke’s ‘Blurred Lines’ Blurred Further by Non-Porn ‘Gay Porn Parody’

Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines (Gay Porn Parody)" video

Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” has put him on top of just about everything. Charts, especially. A public debate has broken out over whether the pointedly flirtatious song and its video, particularly the “unrated” version with topless female models, are degrading toward women. The lines have gotten only trickier to follow now that the models from gay porn site Helix Studios have released their own “gay porn parody” remake of the clip. Like the controversial, breast-baring Thicke original, though, this edition isn’t actually pornographic at all: just guys in underwear, which might not even count as “NSFW” in a society where only female toplessness is (generally) illegal. Nor is this really a parody — it’s more like a lighthearted homage. Most of all, though, it’s another fittingly confusing twist in Thicke’s brilliant smoothie-turned-swaggerer culture jam. Missed opportunity: No equivalent of Thicke’s “has a big dick” sign at the end of the video.
