  1. Too dim witted to know when he is being mocked. Yeah, right … all the oil field workers he met “acknowledged climate change” … as in … the earth has been warming since the last ice age, meh. But somehow Reuters managed to give the comment a completely different spin. Somehow Reuters failed to notice that they dressed the Facebook twit backward … as a symbol of their disdain. It is the equivalent of flipping the bird in a group photograph.
    Zuckerberg’s “Real America Tour” reminds me of John Fitzgerald Kerry’s filmed tour of Vietnam, designed to show him to be a “war hero” like John Fitzgerald Kennedy … in preparation for a run for President. Fake. Self-serving, and offensive to REAL Americans, and REAL soldiers.
    Neither of these men understand America, or Americans. They are cardboard cut-outs of human beings. Fake and flat. Hey Zuck! … America didn’t elect Donald Trump because he was rich or famous. They elected him to do the WORK of the American people. Your money, fame, and Obama-esqe Marxism is NEVER going to play well across America. Maybe the lib echo chamber makes you feel important … but you aren’t … and never will be.

  2. The Democrats new chosen one.
    Zero Personality. *check*
    Crony capitalist *check*
    Nothing in common with middle America *check*
    Nanny government statist *check*
    No vision beyond bureaucratic socialism and deep state control *check*
    Zero knowledge of real issues beyond generated partisan talking points *check*

  3. Usually the zipper is on the front. How did he do up the zipper? Did someone help him while holding back the giggles?

  4. “What Would We Do Without Tech Giants?”
    Work a lot harder producing and enjoying a lot less.
    I don’t know why a genius like Zuckerberg is bothering to patronize blue-collar plebs. He’s got to have better things to do.

  7. You have obviously never stayed-up 3-days in a row, sitting in a darkened cubicle, under one flickering neon light, furiously writing code so Amazon’s new Alexa will be able to record and sell all your personal habits to third party vendors (including the government). Yeah, that is HARD work. Yeah, that is PRODUCTIVE work. Changing everyone’s life for the better, helping a centralized Government-data-Complex to track your every move.

  8. If you don’t like it don’t use it. Amazon tracking my purchases is not the threat. The threat is the NSA and others spying on me.

  9. If Kim Jong Un got caught in such a photo, everyone else in the picture would be punished for wearing their overalls backwards.

  10. The article gets at least one thing right
    “He is not wearing safety glasses or gloves but holds them in his left hand, a violation of rig safety rules”.
    I can vouch that both Statoil and Nabors have safety glasses and gloves mandatory on the drill floor as a policy its usually outside anywhere on the lease, as for the overalls, well he is wearing them nothing says you have to wear them the right way round but I’ll bet he felt uncomfortable still eh wouldn’t be the first time the crews have had a laugh at a VIPs expense. of course you’d have to tell him after the event and the photo-op. Simple things bring the best smiles.

  11. It’ll be tough answering the call of nature dressed like that.
    Likely be some cussing when he goes to the thunderbox.

  12. Some prissy little silicon valley fa8got assistant zipped him up and assured him that’s how the big boys do it.

  13. Would love to see a photo from the front with the big “X” across his chest. There must be a meme in there somewhere. The New York Times would probably blame Sarah Palin.

  15. “Work a lot harder producing and enjoying a lot less.”
    Facebook is not tech and is anti-productive.
    “Did someone help him . . .?”
    His husband?

  16. Actually looking closely its not so certain those coveralls are on the wrong way, don’t necessarily think they are the same as those being worn by the crew, there is no clear sign of a zip and there is a rear pocket zip that would be correct and incorrect if worn back to front. And that collar isn’t right if they are on back to front, admittedly who wears a collar up like that but if it was back to front it would not look like that.

  17. FB is not tech? Is this a joke? Oh and I coordinate with work occasionally through FB. It’s as productive as you want it to be.

  19. Z-berg takes censorship orders from Frau Merkel. Let’s make him President though.

  20. “reminds me of John Fitzgerald Kerry’s filmed tour of Vietnam, designed to show him to be a “war hero” like John Fitzgerald Kennedy ”
    But Kerry received 3 Purple Hearts to Kennedy’s one. And Kerry was tough – 3 wounds and never took a minute off work. Or was that 3 scratches?

  21. Do they have a special school where they get taught how to be stupid,or are they just born that way?

  23. I laughed when I read the caption. Having put on fire proof coveralls more than a few times I can assure you that stepping into them backwards would be no easy feat. However, if Zuk did manage to get it done, from the front he’d look like he had the biggest set of balls on the rig!

  24. “FB is not tech?”
    Right.
    “Is this a joke?”
    No.
    Facebook sits on top of tech, but it is not, itself, tech. It required some programming to get up, but no technical development. A knitting circle sits on top of a considerable amount of tech as well, but it is not, itself, tech.
    It is social.

  25. Facebook did invent the hiphop virtual machine for php which is fairly productive I guess.

  26. “It required some programming to get up”
    I’m actually impressed by this level of gumption and dishonesty.

  27. Although roughnecks are reknowned for pulling pranks on worms (tenderfoots, un-indoctrinated newcomers)by taking advantage of their green-ness and gullibility, he does not have his coveralls on backwards. Someone probably concluded this by incorrectly assuming the safety blaze tape is the same on all of the coveralls; It isn’t. If you look carefully at a decent version of the photo, it is plainly obvious. Back pockets and shoulder pleats are in the correct place, as is the collar. Let’s leave the Fake News to the professionals boys.

  30. WRONG! blow-up the picture … you clearly see the zipper running from the top rear of his “popped” collar, down to a quarter-zip … just like the suit to his left, facing the camera which is properly worn. Nothing FAKE here at all.

  32. Well…. the slight build and shiny unblemished helmet don’t help much either. I think if you opened this photo up for captioning “He got a real pretty mouth ain’t he?” would show up within the first five comments.

  33. He flee in on his private jet. Pretty amazing that his jet flies on solar power … oh wait … his flight flies on hypocrisy.

  35. Much as i despise the guy, he has is coveralls on correctly. Most rig issued coveralls these day have the reflective X on back….but some generic ones that come from workwear stores look this way. Plus the obvious, no zipper down back, no zipper up back of color if they truly were on backwards….which they are not.

  36. Absolutely 100% correct. Facebook is *NOT* tech and it amazes me how many people think it is.
    Zuckerberg is operating a sort of legal drug operation, where he peddles an addictive but largely useless product to the masses.
    I get annoyed when people refer to Facebook as tech and Zuckerberg as a tech “genius”. Neither is remotely correct and such statements are an insult to real engineers that actually do real high tech.
    It is why Zuckerberg has always been so keen on havin low paid immigrant programmers come into the US. It doesn’t take a genius to write web scripts and various other baby software that Facebook uses and so Zuckerberg wants a low paid workforce to up his profits.
    The ultimate value of an entrepreneur should not be measured by their net worth but by the positive impact they have had on society and the total number of jobs they have created.
    Zuckerberg does not measure up at all, but because so many people waste time on Facebook and because he is extraordinarily wealthy, people think he is wonderful.
    He is a typical left-wing elitist, do as I say not as I do, with an overinflated opinion of his actual worth to society.

  37. zuckerberg is a thief and liar. he merely ‘lucked in’ and got ahead of the others involved financially fast enough to out-lawyer them in the lawsuit.
    his ‘success’ is merely random and entirely the result of ‘right place right time’. NOT some ‘business genius’.
    the pic gives new and literal meaning to a fav saying of mine ’emperor’s new clothes syndrome’, except he is the ONLY one suffering it in this shot. indeed, out of everyone on the job site that day.
    ‘facebook’ is a misnomer, it s.b. ‘fakebook’. the only ‘fakebook’ acct I ever had was fake and used to find the whereabouts of an acquaintance. the entire crapola surrounding the ‘digital age’ and ‘service based economy’ is manifested in the herds rushing to this appallingly dangerous venue. there was a documentary recently on the hazards to one’s privacy, describing how keen analysis of innocuous ‘likes’ etc reveal a LOT about those posting.
    and there’s zuckerberg right in the middle of it.

  38. “I’m actually impressed by this level of gumption and dishonesty.”
    This from the person who called blue collar folks “plebs”.
