During an audience Q&A Thursday at the ATX TV Festival in Austin, a man asked Zendaya if she would like go on an ice cream date with him. As Jezebel's Hazel Cills points out, audience Q&As have become an annoyance at TV and movie promotional events. "It happens every time," she says. "At a reading, or a movie screening, or any live talk where an interview is being conducted by a professional, the moment in the night arrives when audience members get to ask questions. Sometimes (sometimes!) respectful questions are asked, but I always find myself holding my breath for that one person, the person who inevitably bumbles up to the microphone to ask a wordy, non-question ('I just want to say I’m such a faaaan!') or, in the case of a question recently posed to Zendaya, something worse."
