You know what, I have a relative who's been in Journalism all his life. Worked for the NY times, and the LA times. He sarted at the bottom run working with the printing presses, worked his way up to reporter, and he's been a senior editor at the LA times for awhile now. He explained something to me a long time ago as profanity goes. It conveys a certain level of emotion, and gives more impact to the point your trying to put across; where as other more nicer words, fail to achieve the same level of emotion, or impact. The use of profanity is more forceful, the words are more powerful, and their use doesn't necessarily indicate lack of intelligence.
