Phuc Dat Bich Wants Facebook To Know That, Yes, It's His Real Name

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/phuc-dat-bich-wants-facebook-to-know-thats-his-actual-name_564f1b9ae4b0879a5b0a7d6d

"Phuc Dat Bich" is not a 12-year-old's poorly spelled insult.

He's a 23-year-old Vietnamese-Australian who asserts he had his Facebook profile shut down multiple times over accusations he was using a fake name.

To prove his namesake to the world, he shared an image of his passport online.

Originally posted in January, the photo surged in popularity online this week, with more than 128,000 likes and 68,000 shares on Facebook as of Friday.

1. Beyond Facebook...

that's got to be trouble in just about any English language speaking country.

Receptionist: "May I ask who's calling?"
PDB: "Phuc Dat Bich"
Receptionist: "Get the Fuck Out of Here Mister or I'm calling security!"

Mom, "You must be my daughter's new boyfriend. Hi, I'm Mrs. Jones."
PDB, "Phuc Dat Bich"
Mom, "how rude. My daughter will not be going out with you."

2. I wonder how it's pronounced . . .

probably not the way we think it is!

I just sent him a friend request on Facebook just so my relatives can see his name. How many will get it?

6. There was once a footballer from Vietnam or Thailand called Phuc Yu

Although to be fair I could be misremembering, and it was actually a hairdresser from Hampstead.

10. None that I know of.

I was wondering if someone would take offense, but it's the poor dudes real name, not that that would keep some of the alert-happy folks on DU from going off.
