Dr. Oz’s request for questions on Twitter with #Ozsinbox hilariously backfires
What’s one thing Robin Thicke and Dr. Mehmet Oz have in common? Both of their attempts at Twitter Q&A sessions seriously backfired.
On Tuesday, the oft-criticized (even by people in Congress) TV host encouraged viewers to submit their health questions to him on Twitter using the hashtag #Ozsinbox.
What is your biggest question for me? Reply with #OzsInbox and I'll answer my favorites on http://t.co/8kjmALRoAd.

The queries quickly started coming in… Just not like what Dr. Oz expected.

Even though there are a few legitimate questions scattered in there, Dr. Oz hasn’t responded to anything.
