Wonkette
Oh great, now you cretins have ruined the Facebook experience of a Nobel-prize-winning physicist who is saving America from Energy Problems, when he’s not cooking or trying to learn golf.
After Energy Secretary Chu’s personal Facebook page was publicized by such anti-American forces as the Wall Street Journal and this one blog somewhere, Dr. Chu was compelled to log in and delete all his funny old big-glasses profile pictures, and personal stuff (about cooking and learning to golf), and now his page is just lame. Become a fan! [WSJ/Infrastructurist]
I hope he’s removed any incriminating pics of him having a tokamak.
I thought only teenagers and pedophiles hung out on Facebook. Oh, wait…that’s MySpace.
My bad.
What’s even sadder is that this guy wins a Nobel Prize and is named to the Cabinet…and has a total of 640 friends. I have undergrad bimbettas that have to Google “How To Open A Book” that have five times that number of friends. Steve Chu needs to post photos of himself in a schoolgirl costume to stop climate change.
Facebook is mentioned in the Bible. In Revelations. One of the signs.
Who made Chu?
Min:
Yeah, Facebook is apparently for my mom and her cousins.
Jesus fucking christ, what is wrong with you people? Honestly, what is wrong with you? Why are you here?
I will now ban everyone.
mrsixinch:
Despite that we Asians get our laughs at you white guys expense, too. No, nothing about going pee pee in your coke. Silly white people think those Asian characters mean strength or wisdom or some other profound shit. They really say: Limp Dicked Douchenozzle, Easy White Girl or Limit Two Riders.
What I meant was how horrible it is that now even the WSJ chooses to play childish games rather than debate polivy with a Nobel laureate.
I am sure, that there is, more to it, than the article says.
Did he onlydelete cooking stuff or was there inappropriate comments also.
Joe Barton has stumped him again.
Hey, he did ban everyone! Yikes!
Steven Chu may be on Facebook, but I still refuse to sign up for it. Bomb the fucking internet.
I’m waiting for Dr. Chu to get fed up and destroy the Republicans and the oil industry (same thing, I know). He’ll emerge from an underground lair wearing a fusion powered exoskeleton and smite them all. It’s going to be completely fucking awesome.
Ken Layne: OK, OK, I’ll finish up and take the 7:12 home… gee, Ken, you should yell at me more often; I’d get home earlier. And feel less guilty about goofing off on the job because I won’t be on the job…. I’ll go home and fuss with Facebook.
ManchuCandidate: I knew my Taiwanese ice cream store owner friend was lying to me when he said the characters on my super-shrinking rayon t-shirt meant “China dragon.”
I wonder if Chu needs more Mob Wars members?
Ken Layne: What Chu talkin’ about Willis?
Thankfully Ken has embraced the “hate the sin, not the sinner” philosophy of banning today. It’s too bad low-hanging fruit (or rather the fruit squishing between our toes) is so tempting and delicious. Unfortunately it is no more nutritional than junk food.
hobospacejunkie: Thinking of you….(though you’ve probably been seen this already)

Ken Layne:
Can’t I just go without dessert tonight?
Nobel Prize winning physicists and Facebook don’t really go together anyway…
Ken Layne:
banhammeredpost deleted formaking a buttsecks jokeasking a question?Ken Layne: Um…I am reading/posting on Wonkette from home whilst drinking. I thought I was doing it right?
Holding Out for a Hero: lucky YOU! I am doing it from the county jail. (seriously)
Ken Layne: I didn’t say anything, I don’t even know who Chu is.
Forgive a retard question (I’m lookin’ at you, elephant-costume), any help with a thread from a while back that was along the lines of “The metro station was closed and I had to walk four blocks. Now I know what the Bataan Death March felt like.” Tried to find it, but no luck. Cuz I wanted to do a “I once was maybe threatened by Ken Layne with a banning. Now I know what it felt like to be a Chinese intellectual during the Cultural Revolution.” But now it’s ruined.
the lady MS. Sheila Dixon: That was newsworthy? Well, OK, apparently this species is the most venomous in North America. But news headline fail — scorpions don’t bite. They sting with their tails. I thought that much would be obvious. Thanks for thinking of me!
I am baffled.
azw88: Um…ok…do you need bail money?
Who are Chu? Who Who Who Who
What Chu What Chu What Chu Want
Chu are the Sunshine of my Life
Blue Suede Chu’s
Chu Shook me All Night Long
I am he as you are he as Chu are me and we are all together.(Coo Coo Ca Chu)
user-of-owls: Key search term: Hoekstra
Gesundheit.
ioksotot23: paintitblack: Oh c’mon guys, I just had this suit pressed. I don’t want brain splatter all over it when the banhammer, or perhaps the baneraser, swings your way.
hobospacejunkie: Woo-hoo! Thank you!! “I just found out how to track the Hoekstra meme. Now I know how Watson and Crick felt.”
natoslug: heh
Way to go, snarkholes. You’ve ruined the internets for Steven Chu AND Ken Layne. I hope you’re pleased with yourselves. Harumpf!
It had to be Chu. Chu had me at Hello.
Chu only hurt the one you love.
Forgive me, Ken!
I like Chinese!
V572625694: I’m going to have to have your pun surgically removed from the eyeball it got lodged in trying to enter my brain — too clunky to fit. So, hey, baby. Wanna have sex inside a DC dumpster? The one I stay in is pretty nice. And you can see the newspaper machine if you prop the lid open, so there’s news.
Coo coo ca Chu, Mrs. Robinson!
Is it safe in here yet? Because I have some supercool ironic racism I want to try out…
What the hell’s wrong with him? Monkey in the hammock?
Tommmcatt: I gave up conservatism when I found out that long as you’re a liberal racism is A-OK! (Because it’s “ironic,” by assumption.)
(This is called “liberal fascism” and it’s just like gassing Jews.)
lizard scum: …or like gassing the Chus, LOL
Why the banning?
Scrodd: Dunno, I think someone made a dumber-than-usual dick joke, since deleted. Then the banning, but as you see there’s a remnant of us remaining, because a narcissistic sociopath can’t destroy all his subjects.
Holding Out for a Hero: No, I still have my get (in and) out of jail free card. (I do some work @ the Jail)
Though I could use a get outta the banhammer bail
I heard The Love Boat is coming back and they need a sassy replacement for Herve Villachez.
shortsshortsshorts: Who played Julie (your cruise director)’s coke dealer when he wasn’t portraying Tattoo on Fantasy Island?
No one on here has any idea how smart this guy is. He won the nobel for figuring out how to shoot lasers at atoms and make them stop in their tracks. He could probably give a rat’s ass about facebook.
SayItWithWookies: I believe it was David Chu, Wookies. However, there is no source for this, and that alone is an injustice.
Steven Chu is doing a bang up job though.
shortsshortsshorts: retard: Tatoo is David CHIU: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Chiu_(politician)
Killed the joke: therefore, I am a terrible failure of a human being.
Carry on.
Ken Layne:
Ken get a grip. Don’t ban everyone. Ban stupids, morans, and muslins.
Aw, I missed the fun. Come on, at least leave the banee’s post up so those of us who can’t Wonk it until 10pm can see what we’re missing.
So, what’d it say?
Just as I started reading this article, Steve Chu appears on The Daily Show…weird, huh?
shortsshortsshorts: It’s alright — they didn’t even have a picture, so I wouldn’t be able to note the resemblance anyway.
I believe Woody Allen had a Chu bit in Annie Hall, yes?
Did Chu eat?
No, did Chu?
Well, if I am banned, I insist that:
Don’t, Don’t, Don’t, Don’t,
Don’t Chiu, Forget About Me . . .
azw88: Wow, you’re an Arizona Liberal in King Arpaio’s
CourtCircus? Which ‘Tent’?Chu chu choose me!
Well, these comments gave me something to, uh, masticate on… and made me remember that even if someone doesn’t look Chuish, he could be.
I attempted to post something much, much earlier, but according to a gracious e-mail from Kaptain Ken, it “got caught in a ban-net, much like dolphin are caught in tuna nets.”
Thankfully, he then added “But, unlike the poor dolphin, you are a catch-and-release, so comment away.”
So, at the risk of overflowing the ban bucket, I’m gonna toss this now-rotten chunk of chum out there one last time:
GREAT NEWS!
Steven has a new foodie blog called Chu Your Food!
He’s been posting like crazy, so check it out!
ManchuCandidate: Hah! I defy you to post characters for Limp Dicked Douchenozzle. Though I suppose they must be rather limp strokes.
The Facebook is not for physicists. They aren’t allowed anywhere on teh Intarwebs except for xkcd.com.
Extemporanus: Thanks for ruining my “Thanks For Ruining Steven Chu’s Facebook Experience” experience.
Extemporanus: that was fuckin awesome btw. ty
Min: Myspace has country singers too!!
Suds McKenzie: Sorry for ruining your experience (it wasn’t me!), and thank you for enjoying mine.
I’m just happy at least someone saw Chu Your Food! However, I’m not so happy that it languished for so many hours in the indiscriminately cruel ban-net that this thread was a fucking ghost town when it was released.
That’ll teach me not to put any kind of actual effort into my comments, I guess.
Extemporanus: Dude, is this for real? I’m flipping my shit if it is, but I mean: that penis parsnip? Really?
