Blake Shelton Too Controversial for Twitter?

In 140 characters or less, Blake Shelton has managed to offend an impressive amount of people with his official Twitter account, along with causing a bit of anxiety at his record label. The 'Honey Bee' singer reveals that execs at Warner Music Nashville once contemplated deleting his account, claiming his tweets were too racy.

"There was a point where Warner was like, 'We've got to get Blake off Twitter, because he can't say these type of things,'" Blake tells the New York Times.

Despite igniting flame wars with animal rights organization PETA and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), the outspoken singer adamantly defends his comments, ultimately keeping his title as the most beloved ... and hated tweeter on Twitter.

"I hope that people learn from me, it's OK to be yourself," Blake declares. "It's OK to offend somebody, and, as a matter of fact, please be polarizing. If you're not polarizing, you failed, in my opinion. If you don't stand for something, how can anyone respect what you do?"

Crass or comedic? What do you think? Here's a sampling of some of the funny man's most controversial tweets:

"Sooo..... Chely Wright just came out. Guess this opens the door... I Blake Shelton am a lesbian."

"Awake...Vomit...Bleeding... Tylenal [sic] PM ... Visine ... Youporn.com ... Sleep ..."

"Re-writing my fav Shania Twain song.. Any man that tries Touching my behind He's gonna be a beaten, bleedin', heaving kind of guy..."

"I asked Miranda if I could do @chelseahandler while I was in L.A. tonight. She said ok ... YES!! She completely misunderstood what I meant!!"

(@Peta): "Animal testing breaks hearts"
(@blakeshelton): "@peta Yeah, and bow hunting breaks their lungs!"

Blake's new album, 'Red River Blue,' hit stores this week. Billboard predicts it will top the all-genre albums chart next week, marking a career first for the Oklahoma native. The CD's first single, 'Honey Bee,' is the fastest-rising song of his career, jetting to No. 1 and staying there four straight weeks. Its follow-up, 'God Gave Me You,' will likely have similar success.
