Rogan vs. Mencia

If you haven't been following this, Joe Rogan and Carlos Mencia had this big onstage fallout at the laugh factory, and it was caught on tape. Granted, I don't necessarily know the full story, but the fact that multiple people have accused Carlos Mencia of stealing jokes and that Mencia has now given takedown notices to YouTube relating to the video (what the fuck legal basis he has to do so is beyond me), I think Mencia is the douchebag here.

It's a shame. As Rogan says, Mencia is a great performer...apparently of other people's jokes. Which is the cardinal sin of comedy, and I don't plan on watching him any more for that reason.
