The "American Sniper" director reportedly made the joke when introducing Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson at the 2015 Guys' Choice Awards Saturday night. He compared Johnson to former athletes who turn to acting like "Jim Brown and Caitlyn Somebody..."

Oh, look! Another awards show I'll never watch!

The award show, which will air June 18, was advertised in press material as “unfiltered, unpredictable” and is hosted by “Empire” stars Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard.”

...if it jabs at Palin, Bush, Cruz or some other low life conservative, it’ll be “unfiltered” but VERY predictable. Never heard of “Spike”, never heard of Empire, never heard of Henson or Howard. So, no loss.

That was too offensive to show? I'm not sure why this is not called the "2015 Gays' Choice Awards". Guy's are not too delicate to survive a comment that mild.

Had I watched the awards, I probably would never have noticed the joke. But now, thanks to Spike cutting it, I now know of it.

Thank you, Spike, for ensuring that more people than will ever watch an awards ceremony on Spike knows that you’re so afraid of the Kardasians that you’d spike any reference, including scant references, to the mentally ill within that family.

And Spike TV paid-up when Spike whatshisname (the so-called filmmaker) muscled them for a payoff for `stealing’ his name.
For a guys’ network, these guys have balls like BBs.

I have to dig out all my old jokes about Renee Richards:

...and update them to apply to Caitlyn.

Spike Lee has nothing to do with Spike TV. He has sued them for using his name.

Spike TV is not related to Spike Lee.

They can’t let the truth ever make anyone feel uncomfortable now can they? So now even mild humor must be censored.

It’s called Spike because they spike all jokes that mention libs. How incredibly inane of them. And it’s not like it was even funny.

Wow. I never knew that. How was he able to prove that they
didn’t steal it from director Spike Jonze?

Spike TV thinks that Caitlyn Jenner has suffered enough cuts.

It used to be The Nashville Network.

Spike TV

As far as the little shake-down artist goes...

Spike sues over channel name
