It and its video has been criticized for being misogynistic and promoting rape culture.
It was later banned at Leeds Student Union, Edinburgh Student Union, University of Derby, Kingston University, University of Bolton, and The University of West Scotland for these reasons. "
The song hugely objectifies women and excuses rape culture,” Hollie O’Connor, president of the University of Derby Students’ Union, told NBC News. “
It is a man suggesting that there are ‘blurred lines’ when it comes to sexual consent and that is unacceptable.
We felt we needed to take a stand.”
Numerous parodies of the video were released online.
Thicke responded to criticism by calling it 'ridiculous'.
He said the lyrics are about  "blurring the lines between men and women and how much we're the same" and "blurred lines between a good girl and a bad girl."

A cranberry is a fruit.
It grows on an evergreen dwarf shrub.
Cranberries are in the genus Vaccinium, and its subgenus Oxycoccus.
In some classification methods, they are regarded as a genus in their own right.
Cranberry plants grow in acidic bogs in cooler areas of the northern hemisphere.
They are low creeping shrubs up to seven feet (3 m) long, from two to eight inches (5-20 cm) high.
They have slender and wiry stems with small leaves which are evergreen with dark pink flowers.
Cranberries are usually eaten during Thanksgiving in the United States.
They are also eaten in Europe and some parts of South America.
Cranberries are strong cash crops for certain U.S. states.
They are turned into juice, sauce or jam.
Since 2000, cranberries have been marketed as superfruit due to their antioxidant and nutrient qualities.

In an assembly line, parts are added to a product in a sequence.
Each worker and machine does one part, and the parts are put together to make the finished object.
This makes a product much faster than with handcrafting-type methods, where one person made the whole object.
The division of labour was discussed by Adam Smith in his book The Wealth of Nations (1776).
He used the manufacture of pins as an example of increasing productive efficiency.
The assembly line developed by Ford Motor Company between 1908 and 1915 made assembly lines famous as an example of mass production.
The result was a cheaper car, the Ford Model T, and higher wages for Ford workers.
Henry Ford was the first to master the moving assembly line, and was able to reduce labor hours needed to make a car, and increased numbers of cars and parts.
Ford was the first company to build large factories around the assembly line concept.
Mass production by assembly lines was the catalyst which started the modern consumer culture by making possible low unit cost for manufactured goods.
It is often said that Ford's production system was ingenious because it turned Ford's own workers into new customers.
The lower prices turned a huge potential market into a reality.
The greater demand allowed further economies of scale to be exploited.
This bootstrapping quality of growth made Ford famous and set an example for other industries.
The idea was not invented by Ford.
Its use in America may have started with the production of cars by Ransom E. Olds in 1901.
The earliest example of an assembly system is the Terracotta Army of the 3rd century BC.
Studies show that eight face moulds were most likely used.

Hypothyroidism is a medical condition.
If a person has hypothyroidism, their thyroid gland does not make enough hormones.
It can be caused by many factors, but it is more common when a person has insufficient iodine.
Severe hypothyroidism in infants can result in cretinism.
Charnia is the genus name of a frond-like Ediacaran lifeform.
It has segmented ridges branching alternately to the right and left from a midline.
The genus Charnia was named after Charnwood Forest in Leicestershire, England, where the first fossilised specimen was found.
Charnia is a highly significant fossil for several reasons.
It is the first fossil ever described from undoubted Precambrian rocks.
Until then the Precambrian was thought to have no fossils.
Similar fossils found in the 1930s (Namibia) and the 1940s (Australia) but were thought to be of Cambrian age.
Secondly, Charnia has become an enduring image of Precambrian animals.
Originally interpreted as an alga (Ford), it was recast as a sea pen, a sister group to the modern soft corals, from 1966 onwards (Glaessner).
The sea pen interpretation has recently been discredited.
The current "state of the art" is something of a "statement of ignorance".
Little is known of the ecology of Charnia.
It was benthic, anchored to the sea floor.
It probably lived in deep waters, below the waves (perhaps a great deal below the wave base).
This means it did not photosynthesise.
Further, it has no obvious feeding apparatus (mouth, gut, etc.)
and so its lifestyle is somewhat of an enigma.
Some think it survived by filter feeding or directly absorbing nutrients.
The growth and development of the Ediacara biota is also important.
It was used to discredit the sea pen hypothesis.
In contrast to the sea pens (that grow by new buds at the base), Charnia grew by new buds at the apex.
Charnia is, in time and geography, the most widespread Ediacaran fossil.
The greatest abundance of specimens, which are also the oldest reliably dated Ediacaran fossils, are found at Mistaken Point on Newfoundland.
Three species, C. masoni, C. wardi, and C. antecedens, have different length/width ratios and attachments of adjacent branches.
Charnia masoni was found by Roger Mason, a schoolboy who later became a professor of metamorphic petrology, in 1957.
Tina Negus, a 15 year old schoolgirl at the time, had seen this fossil a year previously, but her geography schoolteacher flatly denied the possibility of Precambrian fossils.
Charnia wardi, later discovered in 1978 in southeast Newfoundland, was first described in 2003.
This is the longest surviving Ediacaran age fossil, lasting over 2 million years.
The holotype is a fragmentary specimen with a C. masoni like structure.
It was defined as a new species on the basis of long and narrow shape.
Charnia antecedens has more irregular and higher angles of branching than C. masoni.
A number of Ediacaran form taxa are thought to represent Charnia (or Charniodiscus) at varying levels of decay.

The Provinces of the Philippines are the main political and administrative divisions of the Philippines.
There are 80 provinces at present.
The provinces are divided into cities and municipalities.
The National Capital Region, as well as independent cities, are separate from any provincial government.
Each province has a governor.
The provinces are grouped into seventeen regions based on geographical, cultural, and ethnological characteristics.
Fourteen of these regions are designated with numbers corresponding to their geographic location in order from north to south.
The National Capital Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao do not have numerical designations.
All population and land area figures include cities independent from provinces.
In this table, they are counted as part of the province to which they are often grouped for statistical purposes, but in actuality they are first-level entities on their own right.
Metro Manila is included for comparison although it is not a province but an administrative region.

A nursery is a school for children between the ages of one and five years.
It is a preschool education institution, part of a child's education.
Nurseries take care of young children during the day while providing a safe, fun and educational environment.
Most nurseries provide toys and a outdoor playground with equipment.
In the UK, most children start nursery at two or three years old and move on to primary school the academic year they turn five.
Some nurseries can take care of babies as young as 3-6 months old.
These nurseries are often called day nurseries or daycares.
Some nurseries are called children’s centres.
Some nurseries have separate rooms for different age groups.
Preschools in the UK are mainly designed for children from toddler age to five years.
Nursery kindergarten (children's garden), is a name given by Friedrich Fröbel, who created the Nurseru in Germany, in 1837.
Other common names are pre-school, playschool and playgroup.
The German word Kindergarten is also used in many non-English-speaking countries to denote a form of pre-school education.
However, in the United States, Canada, and some parts of Australia, kindergarten is instead the term used to describe the first year of compulsory schooling.
The word kindergarten is not generally used in the UK.
Kingsway is a major road in central London in the United Kingdom, designated as part of the A4200.
It runs from High Holborn, at its north end in the London Borough of Camden, and meets Aldwych in the south in the City of Westminster at Bush House.
It was built in the 1900s.
Together Kingsway and Aldwych form one of the major north-south routes through central London linking the ancient east-west routes of High Holborn and Strand.
The road was built as part of a redevelopment of the area in the 1900s.
Its route cleared away the maze of small streets in Holborn such as Little Queen Street and the surrounding dwellings.
However Holy Trinity Church, which was built in Little Queen Street was spared.
Whereas the Sardinian Embassy Chapel, an important Roman Catholic church attached to the Embassy of the Kingdom of Sardinia, was demolished to make way for the new street.
Plans were published by London County Council in 1898 and the road was formally opened in 1905.
It is one of the broadest streets in central London at  wide.
It was unique in containing below it a tunnel for a tramway, which started just north of Southampton Row, passed beneath Aldwych and continued to the Thames Embankment: this Kingsway tramway subway joined the North and South London tram systems.
In 1958 the disused tunnel was reopened at the southern end to make a new connection, the Strand Underpass, for light traffic between Waterloo Bridge and Kingsway on order to reduce congestion.
Also beneath Kingsway was a branch of the Piccadilly tube line from Holborn to Aldwych.
It is now closed with no service but the platform at Holborn used for the branch is used for TV and film sets that require underground scenes.
During WW2 the branch was used to store art treasures from the British Museum, including the Elgin Marbles.

A box office is a place where tickets are sold to the public.
These tickets let people into a theater to see an event.
In the movie industry, the term is most often used to mean the amount of money a movie makes by the selling of tickets.
The term can also mean things which affect the amount a movie earns.
Box office business can be measured in terms of how many people see a movie.
It can also be measured by how much money is earned by selling tickets.
The estimate of these amounts and analysis of them is very important to the movie industry.
It is often something that is important to fans as well.
Some people think that the movie industry is concerned too much with this.
They say profit is more important to movie studios than making movies as a form of art.
Understanding how different types of movies earn money affects the how other movies are made and paid for.
If a certain type of movie often has a large box office, studios are more likely to make that type of movie.
Some types of movies earn more when they are released at certain times of the year.
Studios use this information to plan when to release certain movies.

Battersea Bridge is a cast-iron and granite five-span cantilever bridge crossing the River Thames in London, England.
It is on a sharp bend in the river, and links Battersea south of the river with Chelsea to the north.
The first Battersea Bridge was a toll bridge.
Although a stone bridge was planned, a cheaper wooden bridge was built instead.
Designed by Henry Holland, it was opened to pedestrians in November 1771, and to vehicles in 1772.
The bridge was poorly designed.
Iy was dangerous to its users and to passing shipping.
Boats often collided with it.
To reduce the dangers to shipping, two piers were removed, and the sections of the bridge above them were strengthened with iron girders.
Although dangerous and unpopular, the bridge was the last surviving wooden bridge across the Thames in London.
It was the subject of paintings by Turner, Cotman and Whistler.
In 1879 the bridge was taken into public ownership, and in 1885 demolished and replaced with the existing bridge, designed by Joseph Bazalgette.
It is the narrowest surviving road bridge over the Thames in London, and one of London's least busy Thames bridges.
The position on a bend in the river makes the bridge a hazard to shipping, and it has been closed many times due to collisions.
The Battersea Bridge area marked the official start of the parade of ships and boats moving towards Tower Bridge.
A saint is a holy person.
In many religions, saints are people who are believed to be holy.
In Christianity, the word "saint" refers to any person who is "in Christ", and in whom Christ dwells, whether in Heaven or in earth.
Orthodox Christians and Catholics teach that all Christians in Heaven are saints, but some are worthy of more honor than others.<ref name=bebis>Bebis G The Saints of the Orthodox Church at Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, New York</ref>
In the Christian Bible, not only one person is actually called a saint: "They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD." ()
The apostle Paul called himself "less than the least of all saints" in .
Many religions use the "saint" idea to honor people, like Hindu saints.
If a person is considered a saint, no matter what religion they belong to, they are usually:
A very good person
A very good teacher
Able to work miracles
Able to pray on behalf of believers
Living without many material things or comforts
Knowledgeable about holy things
In the Anglican Communion and the Continuing Anglican movement, a Saint is a person who has been elevated by popular opinion as a holy person.
The saints are seen as models of holiness to be followed, and as a 'cloud of witnesses' that strengthen and encourage the believer during his or her spiritual journey ().
Official Anglican policy recognizes the existence of the saints in heaven.
In the Eastern Orthodox Church a saint is defined as anyone who is in Heaven, whether recognized here on earth, or not.
This means Adam and Eve, Moses, and the various prophets (except for the angels and archangels) are all given the title of "Saint".
In the Orthodox Church, sainthood refers to closeness to God.
In the Lutheran Church, all Christians, whether in heaven or on earth, are regarded as saints.
However, the church still recognizes and honors certain saints, including some saints honored by the Catholic Church.
While Methodists as a whole do not practice the patronage or veneration of saints, they do honor and admire them.
Methodists believe that all Christians are saints, but mostly use the term to refer to biblical people, Christian leaders, and martyrs of the faith.
Many Methodist churches are named after saints, such as the Twelve Apostles, John Wesley, etc.
Mormons (Latter-day Saints)
The beliefs within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) with regard to saints are close to the beliefs of the Protestant faith.
In the New Testament the saints are all those who have been baptized. "
Latter-day" refers to the doctrine that members are living in the "latter days", before the Second Coming of Christ.
Therefore members are often referred to as "Latter-day Saints" or "LDS", and among themselves as "Saints".
Oriental Orthodox
The Syriac Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, Ethiopian Orthodox, Eritrean Orthodox, Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church and Armenian Apostolic Church do accept the existence of saints, but officially recognize them in their own ways.
For example, the Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria canonizes saints, through the approval of that church's Holy Synod.
A requirement of the Coptic Orthodox faith is that at least 50 years must pass from a saint's death to his canonization, and the Coptic Orthodox Pope must follow that rule.
Other Christian groups
There are some groups who do not accept the idea of the Communion of Saints.
Some believe all of the departed are in soul sleep until the final resurrection on Judgment Day.
Others believe that the departed go to either Paradise or Tartarus, to await the day in which the living and the dead are judged.
Certain groups do not believe that the departed have any connection with the living.
In many Protestant churches, the word "saint" is used more generally to refer to anyone who is a Christian.
This is similar to Paul's numerous references in the New Testament of the Bible.
In this way, anyone who is within the Body of Christ (any Christian) is a 'saint' because of their relationship with Christ Jesus.
Many Protestants consider prayers to the saints to be idolatry because they believe prayers should be given only to God himself.
Rev. Alban Butler published Lives of the Saints in 1756, containing 1,486 saints.
The latest edition of this work contains the lives of 2,565 saints.
Monsignor Robert Sarno, an official of Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints, said it is impossible to say the exact number of saints.
The Catholic Church teaches that it does not make anyone into a saint.
Instead, it recognizes a saint.
In the Church, the title of Saint refers to a person who has been canonized (officially recognized) by the Catholic Church, and is therefore believed to be in Heaven.
Because the Church believes all people in Heaven are saints, there are many people believed to be in Heaven who have not been officially declared as saints.
Sometimes the word "saint" is used to refer to Christians still living here on earth.
The veneration of saints, in Latin, cultus, or the "cult of the saints", describes devotion to a particular saint or saints.
Sometimes this is called "worship", but only in the old-sense meaning "to honor or give respect".
According to the Catholic Church, Divine Worship is properly reserved only for God and never to the saints.
Saints can be asked for help, just as one can ask someone on earth to pray for them.
A saint may be a patron saint of a cause or profession, or invoked against specific illnesses or disasters, sometimes by popular custom and sometimes by official statements of the Magisterium.
Saints are not thought to have power of their own, but only that granted by God.
Becoming a Saint
A person who is seen as very holy can be declared a saint by a formal process, called canonization.
Formal canonization is a lengthy process often taking many years, even centuries.
The first step in this process is an investigation of the candidate's life, undertaken by an expert.
After this, the report on the candidate is given to the bishop of the area and more studying is done.
It is then sent to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome.
If the application is approved, the person may be granted the title of "Venerable".
Further investigations may lead to the candidate's beatification and given title of "Blessed".
At least two important miracles are required to be formally declared a saint.
These miracles must have happened after the candidate died.
Finally, when all of this is done the Pope canonizes the saint.
Once a person has been declared a saint, the body of the saint is considered holy.
The remains of saints are called holy relics and are usually used in churches.
Saints' personal belongings may also be used as relics.
Some of the saints have a symbol that represents their life.
The word "saint" is not only used by Christianity.
In many religions, there are people who have been recognized as having reached the highest goals of religious teaching.
In English, the term saint is often used to translate this idea from many world religions.
African Diaspora
Cuban Santería, Haitian Vodou, Brazilian Umbanda and Candomblé, and other similar syncretist religions adopted the Catholic saints, or at least the images of the saints, and applied their own spirits/deities to them.
They are worshiped in churches (where they appear as saints) and in religious festivals, where they appear as the deities.
The name santería was originally a negative term for those whose worship of saints deviated from Catholic norms.
Buddhists hold the Arhats and Arahants  in special esteem, as well as Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.
In Discordianism, anyone, living or dead, or even anything can be named a saint.
Anyone may canonize anything or anyone else as everyone, whether they are aware of it or not, is a pope in the POEE.
This is because "moral perfection isn't necessary for Discordian Sainthood.
You just have to suffer a lot."
There are people who have been described as being Hindu saints, most of whom have also been more specifically identified by the terms Sant, Mahatma, Paramahamsa, or Swami, or with the titles Sri or Srila.
The Arabic word wali (Arabic ولي, plural Awliyā' أولياء) is usually translated into English as "Saint".
However, the wali should not be confused with the Christian tradition of sainthood.
An important early scholar of Sunni Islamic beliefs, Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Tahawi, mentioned in his book "Al-Aqidah At-Tahawiya":We do not prefer any of the saintly men among the Ummah over any of the Prophets but rather we say that any one of the Prophets is better than all the awliya' put together.
We believe in what we know of Karamat, the marvels of the awliya' and in authentic stories about them from trustworthy sources.
Unlike Prophets and Messengers, the awliya can be either male and female.
One of the best known female saints is Rabi`a al-Adawiyya.
It is widely regarded in Islam that the saints of saints is Ali Ibn Abi Talib the cousin of Muhammad all Sufi orders originate through his teachings.
In addition all saints regard him as their champion 'The Saints of Saints'
In Sufism, the major wali are considered to have been masters in the art of spiritual purification.
Some groups within Islam hold the Hadrat (literally, Presence, a title of Sufi saints) in esteem.
The word Tzadik "righteous", and its associated meanings, developed in Rabbinic thought from its Talmudic contrast with Hasid ("Pious" honorific), to its exploration in Ethical literature, and its spiritualisation in Kabbalah.
In Hasidic Judaism, the institution of the Tzadik assumed central importance.
The concept of sant or bhagat is found in North Indian religious thought including Sikhism.
Figures such as Kabir, Ravidas, Nanak, and others are widely regarded as belonging to the Sant tradition.
Some of their mystical compositions are incorporated in the Guru Granth Sahib.
The term "Sant" is still sometimes loosely applied to living individuals in the Sikh and related communities.
