Well, rational people will realize it for what it is, comedy.
Irrational people will foam at the mouth over it and somehow say that it condones cross dressing and homosexuality. But irrational people are nuts anyway, and the only time anyone pays attention to them is when they are laughing at them.
Comedy varies for different people. Rationality or irrationality has nothing to do with it. If crossdressing makes one person chuckle, then there's another person who'll be turned off by it (like me, for instance. Tell jokes or do slapstick gags all you'd like. But crossdressing just looks tacky and tasteless. JMHO).
But I will say this: it would be highly irrational to assume that all of these images of a crossdressing Rudy won't come back to bite him.
