Bent Shifter!?

This is probably a really stupid question, but is an S4 shifter supposed to be bent like this?

hahha yeah I have seen one bent like that before.... but thats only cuz I got t-boned by a 3-4 tonne pickup while my hand was still on it.. Buddy who bent that one must have been pissed off like no other. That was the car btw and even still the shifter wasnt bent that bad.... not like the frame anyways ahaha
