?Okay, let me make one thing perfectly clear, this is NOT jumping the shark. I?m gonna repeat that again, this is NOT jumping the shark. No, no, no. This is jumping the shark, coming back, shooting it in the balls, raping it, eating its flesh, consuming its soul, mounting its head on the wall? and then doing the same thing to 12 more fucking sharks!?

Apparently you can rape sharks but you can't "love someone your way"
where is Lupa's blog about how raping sharks offends her?
see that's where my whole problem is with this if the story is true that 'she found a comment inappropriate' because more then once people have made rape jokes on the site. rape is terrible that's why when its used in a jokes its to show how awful something is, the joke comes off as funny.
the more i read about this the more lupa's actions remind me a chick i went to collage a few years ago, she had very religious upbringing and somethings just did not sit well with her, and there were times she got into fights with others we were living with, and this girl would pretty much make it so every one had a to pick a side while she was fight with another person in the house.
now im not saying, Spoony has done no wrong- and supposedly lupa was bring this up to call attention to his actions, she may have remembered just seeing the stupid tweet a while back and used it as an example of 'this is why you need to shape up'.
here is the thing about telling some one they need to change. people dont like hearing that, people like it less when you do it in a very public and for all the world to see, any normal person would lash out. so even if Lupa was 100% right, and the joke was wrong, and the way he acted/acting was wrong. Lupa should have said her piece, via email-phone call, or direct messaging.
there are right and wrong ways to handle shit, while i was in this collage i was one of 3 girls in my block of classes, and being a girl surrounded by boys i had to deal with alot of crap they would throw out at me,to the point that one day they made a pretty fucked up and mean horrible joke for a class assignment no less about a fellow class mate chaining me down and having his way with me after i was done with my period. this set off a chain of events where i did not speak to anyone for a while. then one day one of the other girls in my class, one i didnt live with asked if she should talk with me for a bit. she then took me aside after every one had left and told me why the guys acted the way they did, and if i toned who i was down a bit, i would be less of a target. we talked for a long time, and at the end of that conversion i was really pissed at her, not that she took the guys side. not because i still believed nothing i was doing warranted that kind of treatment, i was pissed she told me i needed to change who i am. i still respect that she WAITED to do this while we where alone, while we where in private. Nothing she said to me i agreed with, but she knew to do it in private, not in front of any one else.
you can blame Spoony for making a shitty terrible joke, you can blame him for yelling at people who only want the best for him, but at the end of the day i see it as Lupa who make this a public thing
