I could certainly live without it, but times have changed. I think there still is a segment of society that will oppose talk that is offensive to them and will look for entertainment that is free of the unnecessary vulgarity. I support the free market, and I'm interested to see the effects of this decision on television and radio and how the "family friendly" segment will weigh in.
