Just as Robin Thicke apparently underestimated the patience of his estranged wife Paula Patton, so did the Canadian singer underestimate the general public's patience with him when he agreed to a Twitter Q&A with the hashtag #AskThicke to promote his just-released, not-so-subtly named album "Paula."
On the heels of publicly weeping during his BET Awards performance -- "Good evening, my name is Robin Thicke, I’d like to dedicate this song to my wife, and say, 'I miss you, and I’m sorry.' This is called 'Forever Love.'" -- the 37-year-old singer agreed to a VH1-sponsored Twitter Q&A which quickly turned into a chance for the Internet to get its revenge for his controversial "rapey" song "Blurred Lines."
Fans of @robinthicke are upset that #AskThicke is getting trolled.
Don't worry guys. It's okay.
We know he wants it.

Robin Thicke is getting terrible abuse on the #AskThicke hashtag.
Maybe If he'd dressed less provocative & stayed sober it wouldn't happen?

#AskThicke I asked my wife if she wants your album. She said no. Does that mean yes?

His rape anthem: 99p.
His ex-wife stalking album: £8.99.
The #AskThicke hashtag tearing his ego in two: PRICELESS.

#askThicke If one of your songs played in a forest and no one was around to hear it would it still be sexist and gross?

#AskThicke Did you really write a rape anthem as a love song for your wife and are you still wondering why she left you?

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

#AskThicke is the reason u can't get her back because she wised up and read between the #BlurredLines ?

#AskThicke don't you think this is an ironic hashtag considering you're not one for asking?

Is the creepy stalking thing a sick publicity stunt at your ex's expense, or just a thoughtless grab for attention and relevance? #AskThicke

#AskThicke Once you've cracked 'hug me', any thoughts on what rhymes with 'misogynistic douchebag'?
