A rental car company made a joke at Caitlyn Jenner’s expense Tuesday, sending the Internet into an absolute fit.
Because Jenner recently announced he was, “for all intents and purposes,” a woman and began dressing like one, Sixt Rent a Car sent out a tweet inviting Jenner to “try this Crossover.”
The tweet includes a picture of an Audi Q5 and the hashtags “#IAmCait” and “#CallMeCaitlyn.”
HEY, CAITLYN. TRY THIS CROSSOVER. (The Audi Q5 from Sixt. Only $49/day) #IAmCait #Caitlyn #Audi #callmecaitlyn #KUWTK pic.twitter.com/xKHyJySOjZ

Because of the nature of the joke, and because Sixt hasn’t deleted it yet, the Internet became outraged. (RELATED: Caitlyn Jenner Criticized By Transgender Friends For Conservative Views)
