(Yardbarker) So if you’re swimming in the water and a shark bites you, that’s called trespassing. That is not a shark attack. A shark attack is if you’re chilling at home, sitting on your couch, and a shark comes in and bites you; now that’s a shark attack.

Aparantly he lifted the bit from comedian Ian Edwards, but unlike when Carlos Mencia steals another comedian’s material, Arenas stealing your jokes equals free advertising. Mencia stealing your jokes equals rape. Worse than that, he’s pissing on the industry, ala what Barry Bonds is doing to baseball. Erasing the notion that the game or the stage is sacred, or at least worth more than any one person who capitalizes on there being this venue for their talent in the first place. No one has likened Bonds to Mencia that I know of, but they’re the same type of person as I see it. And when comparing the two situations, I suppose Joe Rogan would be comedy’s version of Curt Schilling.
