GMTA -- first thought to pop in my head upon reading the article. I haven't been to rodeo since 70s but I bet the clowns are still doing some of the same old jokes and skits.
I haven't been to a rodeo in years, but I know what sort of people go to such things, and they are the salt of the earth "common sense" types.
They will not indulge "political correctness", they will laugh at it.
And I bet the clowns ARE doing the same skits. :)
