SHARKS FIGHTING ABOUT SHARKS

As you may have heard--because this is the story that keeps on giving--Katy Perry has a small army of attorneys handing out cease-and-desist letters to entreprenurial Super Bowl halftime viewers who are creating figurines and costumes based on that lovable but rhythmically challenged dancer, Left Shark.

One of the C&D recipients, however, has enlisted NYU professor Jon Sprigman, who delivered a death blow to any future cases of Left Shark trolling from Katy's own sharks with this one extremely valid (and rather amusing) argument:

"No one knew that the shark dancing to the left of Katy Perry during the Super Bowl halftime show was Left Shark until the Internet told us that he was. The Internet decided that Left Shark's flubbed dance moves were hilarious. It gave Left Shark his name, and then it made him into a meme. Left Shark isn't really about Katy Perry. Unless you're telling me she planned the whole thing in advance."
