Robin Thicke's hit track 'Blurred Lines' has been banned by University of Edinburgh's students' union.

The song is deemed to violate the university's Students' Association's 'End Rape Culture and Lad Banter on Campus' campaign.

'Blurred Lines' has attracted some criticism for apparently trivialising sexual consent, whilst its video has been lambasted for objectifying women.

Vice-president of the Edinburgh uni's Students' Association Kirsty Haigh commented:

"The decision to ban 'Blurred Lines' from our venues has been taken as it promotes an unhealthy attitude towards sex and consent."

She added: "There is a zero tolerance towards sexual harassment, a policy to end lad culture on campus and a safe space policy - all of which this song violates."
