WOW: PC Spike TV Censors Out This Clint Eastwood Bruce Jenner Joke

You’re not allowed to joke about Bruce Jenner a/k/a Caitlyn. At least that’s the viewpoint of stuck-in-the-mud, politically correct minds at Spike TV. Execs at the cable network will cut a very tame joke Eastwood made at the Spike TV Guys’ Choice 2015 awards on Saturday night.







Spike TV will cut an Eastwood joke about Jenner when the show airs Saturday, June 18. The website Hollywood Life reported that Eastwood made the crack when introducing Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for an award during the program shot at Sony Pictures Studio in Culver City, CA. Eastwood, 85, compared the San Andreas star to former athletes who have become actors, like “Jim Brown and Caitlyn Somebody…”

David Schwarz, Spike TV senior vice president of communications, confirmed the quote. “We will remove the reference in the version that will air,” Schwarz wrote in an email.

Wow. Somebody needs to inject some humor into Spike, the programming of which is aimed at straight, young males. Its tagline is the sexually-charged double entendre, “Get More Action.” This isn’t the Bravo network. And in fact, Bruce Jenner did act in the notoriously bad movie, “Can’t Stop the Music.”

Cross Bruce Jenner/Caitlyn Jenner off the list of subjects you can joke about. If you can’t make fun of him, what’s next?

Get a life, America.

By the way, I’ll bet Denny Hastert and Duggar child molester jokes aren’t off limits.

Well, if I were Caitlyn (Bruce) Jenner, I would take the joke and laugh at myself, but then again, Jenner isn’t responsible for Spike-TV to pull the joke on her, it was more than likely the head-men of this network that decided to make the decision that I disagree with them on.

“I’ll bet Denny Hastert and Duggar child molester jokes aren’t off limits.”

And I’ll bet that Lena Dunham child molester jokes, like anything pertaining to Bruce / “Caitlyn” Jenner, are off limits.

The tradition of Hanoi Jane lives on.

Comparing a dude that wants the world to consider him a woman to child molesters is pretty twisted. One is weird, the other is fricking SEXUAL ASSAULT! Child molesters aren’t just weird, they’re MONSTERS that should be locked away forever.

It says something that you would compare these things in this manner, and, unfortunately, as a big fan of yours, it says nothing good.

DIA: I’m not excusing child molesters at all. Not even close. What they did is deplorable (although I deplore Denny Hastert far more than the Duggar guy b/c they didn’t do the same things). That said, I think they are all fodder for jokes, but yet Bruce Jenner is off limits, but they are not. Wasn’t comparing them. Just pointing out that some things are off limits b/c of PC and yet others are not b/c of who they are politically. And, frankly, since there are victims of both Hastert and Duggar, the jokes about those two should probably be more off limits than jokes about Bruce Jenner who willingly got breast implants and will cut off his penis in a year. That’s more jokeworthy than child molestation. So you missed my point. DS

    Dallas, you’re such a fan that you’ve never come here before.

      Just because I don’t leave comments doesn’t mean I don’t read all of Debbie’s stuff. Debbie has been a great supporter of me and my coworkers on other things. I don’t understand why she would downplay the horror of child molestation.

    If he changes his mind….he can always get a Strapadicktome operation

This can be said to be the first step towards the eventual imposition of Sharia law vis-a-vis certain speech, given how such prohibitions as regarding Jenner seem not too dissimilar to Sharia blasphemy laws against those who “defame” Islam.

The version of the story that I read said the joke got groans and no laughs. That was the excuse for the edit.

Good grief, that’s hardly a joke…especially for a “guys” show. These pic media types have no sense of humor and no balls.

    More likely they are “girly men”

    ra2216 on June 9, 2015 at 9:45 am

TV’s executive empty suits, after a few martinis tell more crude jokes than that!

Cosmo101 on June 9, 2015 at 12:18 pm

The joke I have for the execs at Spike if from the Movie “Catch Me if You Can”

Knock knock

Who’s there?

Go f-ck yourselves.

He/She/It Jenner would deserve the “Courage Award” if he/she/it walked into a biker bar and offer to give blow jobs to each and every biker who was too drunk to figure out that something wasn’t quite right. Once they realized this “IT” had a package Jenner wouldn’t leave the bar with his so-called manhood. He would be more accurately labeled as an oversized eunuch who was really fucked up in the head. There have been legitimate cases of individuals trapped in the wrong bodies. None of the published cases waited until they were in their sixties to declare their issue. If Jenner was really conflicted about his gender he could’ve done something about it decades ago. Unlike many legitimate cases, he had the finances to pursue the surgery and medications needed to make the transformation. I don’t give a damn about the Kardashians, whose father was an accessory after-the-fact in OJ’s killings, but he has ex-wives and children that he’s deceived, mislead and abandoned. DS’s pertinent, and first to report article about Burt Jenner’s success in auto racing despite a difficult life with an absent father who was always looking ahead to what would benefit Bruce. Unlike so many who are applauding him, only DS printed information about the damage he has done in the past which is relevant, and a good precursor, to his real future motives…Making a lot of MONEY and being a CELEBRITY! He can go fuck himself because no one else, in their right mind, would.

With Jenner, we get the dreary roll out of her Gender Reassignment surgery. It makes no difference that this sort of procedure and subsequent hormonal therapy has been around for ages and has been undergone by so many. Caitlyn Jenner is brave for undertaking what what so many have before without the expense accounts and lucrative contracts.

If the Democrats get re-elected next time around Bruce Jenner will be the ambassador to Pattaya, Thailand .He will fit right in as the Older American grandmother type with the rest of the lady boys .
He makes a seriously ugly woman though ,and that TV comedian guy was right,he now has a use by date.. Although the close up shots show us he is actually well past past it. There are plenty of non famous 63 year old woman out here who look just fine to show us Bruce has aged pretty badly I’m afraid .I guess the joke will be forever on poor old Bruce.

Transgenderism affects maybe 1-20,000 to 1-40,000 people. Severe depression affects 10% of the population lifetime, and schizophrenia affects 1%.

Everybody rushes over to coddle the transgendered; while the two mental illnesses that I mentioned which kill many thousand Americans routinely have funds for their care cut.
