Spike TV Scurries from Caitlyn Jenner Joke

If you’re looking for another lamentable sign of the times, SpikeTV has chosen to delete a Clint Eastwood zing regarding Caitlyn Jenner from the broadcast version of their Guy’s Choice Awards. Naturally, guys would choose not to make Caitlyn Jenner jokes. I’ve hardly heard more than twenty thousand the past couple of weeks.

During the taping [of the Guy’s Choice Awards], while presenting “San Andreas” star Dwayne Johnson with a special award, Eastwood compared Johnson to other athletes-turned-actors like “Jim Brown and Caitlyn Somebody.”

Caitlyn-somebody? Shiver me fucking timbers. Tranny wars have been started over less offensive diatribes. Caitlyn Jenner is the third rail of vagina politics. You can’t even discuss her in anything but a turd polished light or you will be carted off to the re-education camps. That’s both alarmist and true. I’m assuming this has to bother some people, even if dissent is limited to Soviet era whispers with the shades down and Autograph cranked up on the phonograph.

Fuck that. Not me. I’ll keep fighting. Until that fifteen bucks an hour thing kicks in at Mickey D’s and I can do better slinging fries. Everybody has their price. Mine is fifteen bucks an hour. Yes, I speak some Spanish, why do you ask?
