Things the Teenage Me Would Never Have Believed About Life In The Future, #14

Edited July 18, 2015: I realize this entry is going to be taken rather wrongly now.  See, this was when Caitlyn Jenner's transgender nature was a mere rumour, which, like many things associated with the Kardashians, didn't really get taken too seriously.  So I wanted to note that this post is referring only to reality TV misadventures:

Being in The Village People's movie is no longer even one of the top ten most embarrassing things Bruce Jenner has done.

But lets' face it, this joke isn't really going to work any more, now that Jenner has vaulted herself from bit player in a family used as a punchline to a civil rights hero.  There are plenty of other ways to take the joke: "Winning the decathlon gold will turn out to be only the second biggest achievement for the person you know as Bruce Jenner," or, "One day, retroactively talking to yourself about Bruce Jenner will require saying, 'the person you know as Bruce Jenner.'"
