I know very little about business and next to nothing about the movie business, so someone with superior knowledge should correct me if I am wrong in my syllogisms.

Altering the movie by "scrubbin" the filth increases its distribution numbers.
Increasing distribution increases profits for the production company.
Ergo, Preventing the "scrubbing" decreases profits.

Am I missing something here?

Oh, that's right, I am not among the cultural elite, so it's impossible me to grasp the tremedous artistic merit of the F-bomb.

Context is everything. Sometimes harsh language, sex and violence are a key part of the characterizaion and plot.
