My rear sway bars bent(stock bar)

Its bent pretty good next to the rear right wheel. It's hard to demonstrate where, but there is a pretty good bend in it. Don't have camera available.. Should I just take it off? I know most of you don't have it. What should I do??

Yep, had me worried the first time I saw my rear bar too. The rear bar is not symetrical...
