It looks like Spike TV didn’t find Clint Eastwood’s joke about Caitlyn Jenner during the Guys’ Choice Awards taping on Saturday very funny.
A rep for the male-centered network said the reference will be cut from the telecast.
“We will remove the reference in the version that will air,” David Schwarz, Spike TV senior vice president of communications, said in a statement.
During the taping, 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 Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner, made her debut as a woman on the cover of Vanity Fair last week. The gold-medal Olympian’s transition from male to female will also be featured in an upcoming E! docu-series, “I Am Cait.”
The situation isn’t too different than a controversy that involved the Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber in March. Several jokes about the late Paul Walker were made during the taping while Walker’s “Furious 7″ co-star Ludacris was on the stage, and Comedy Central cut them out of the official broadcast that aired in late March.

AFAIK, Clint Eastwood is fine with gay rights, but if Jenner still has his male equipment, then he’s still a guy. It’s also not like other people like Rosie O’Donnell haven’t said worse about her ex’s son.
it seems to me that there is a way to undermine this with the liberal feminist millennial SJWs who are always on the lookout to be offended by something and who think homosexuals and transgender people are the very best people in the world.
I would say it’s more along the lines of a martyr complex, because it gets pushed in my face as them being the most hated and persecuted group of people. I wouldn’t call that true when anyone who doesn’t like them is not politically protected, within the U.S. or Europe, that it.
And a media more interested in sucking dork than in breaking news.
dork is another word for obama isn’t it.
