Who doesn’t love a good Twitter feud to liven up their weekend? Well, Lena Dunham and Shia LaBeoufwent to war with each other today and it was as polite and hipster-ific as I’m sure you’re all imagining.
In case you missed it, this whole thing started after the internet found out Mr. LaBeouf had included uncredited dialogue in a short film he directed. Long story short, he plagiarized another writers work. Then, two days ago, after apologizing many times via Twitter, Shia had one last attempt at a mea culpa written in the sky. That message, as you can imagine, also happened to find its way to Twitter.

That brings us to this morning when Lena, the writer / director / and lead actress on Girls, felt the need to share her disdain for skywriting and its perpetuators.
I've always felt, utterly and unchangeably, that only sociopaths hire skywriters.

And because he obviously hasn’t learned his lesson, Shia responded by lifting a tweet that Dunham had written herself way back in 2012.
I don't mind creating debate with thoroughly considered artistic expressions but I don't want to offend with a tweet. Sorry world.

He wasn’t done though, not at all.
Im addicted to lean & that shit ain’t no joke. I can barely remember all the things I’ve done & said. However there’s no excuse 4 skywriting

Thankfully, Lena has a memory like an elephant.
Vaguely recognized Shia Labeouf's latest twitter apology and realized it was MINE! Touché, Louis Stevens.

And then she won the battle. #crushedit
Projecting a lot of rage against my 7th grade boyfriend on LaBeouf. Think this is the start of something really productive #2014

She must’ve dropped a microphone when this ended right? Lena, if you read this, please Instagram or Vine a video of you dropping a microphone. Thanks.
