Oh dear, who thought a Twitter #AskThicke Q&A session would be a good idea?
Controversial singer, Robin Thicke, agreed to an 'Ask Me Anything' questions and answers session with VH1, the US music channel.
They invited people to ask the singer questions using the hashtag #AshThicke.

I don't think they realised what they were getting themselves into but they must have known it was going to cause a stir.
Thicke has been heavily criticised for his Blurred Lines song which has been called 'pro-rape' and degrading to women as it alludes to a woman saying 'no' to sex but meaning 'yes'.
To make matters worse, married Thicke was also pictured fondling a woman's bottom and has since been trying to win back the affections of his estranged wife Paula.
Needless to say people took the opportunity to voice their opinions on the man who was voted “Sexist of the Year” by womens campaign group 'End Violence Against Women Coalition'.
Here are just a few of the many, many 'questions' he received but I'm not sure if any of them will actually make it to the interview.
How many times do you expect Paula to forgive your bs because obviously the last 127,000 weren't enough #askthicke

@VH1 @robinthicke From writing an obsessive stalker song to blurring lines of consent, why do you continue to be such a creep? #AskThicke

How's your own personal feminist movement based on trivializing consent & promoting rape apology going these days? @robinthicke #AskThicke

On a scale of R. Kelly to Phil Spector, how do you intend to "Get Her Back?" #AskThicke

#AskThicke if asked if you want salt and vinegar on your chips and you say no but they put it on because no means yes is that ok?

#AskThicke When you're not busy objectifying women, making light of rape and justifying sexual violence, how do you like to relax?

What influenced you to change your lyrical style from incredibly rapey to disconcertingly stalkerish? #AskThicke

#AskThicke It might seem like some of the questions on this hashtag are cruel and abusive but Robin, I know you want it
