Blasphemy, obscenity, indecency, licentiousness, all of these types of things are as old as time. The fact that they are taboo, or disgusting, or offensive, or indecent is actually what gives them both their power and their entertainment and excitement value.
In other words, it's only entertaining because it offends someone like you. If you didn't care about the word fuck or shit, those words would lose their meaning and probably fall out of popularity only to be replaced by a new word or phrase that offended common sensibility.
All that being said I completely recognize it's a matter of taste and think it's perfectly valid for you both to not like it and to express that dislike. And I don't mean to express any argument, just explain why some would enjoy it.
