I don't think many people have ever watched a movie to see someone get raped. I have seen movies which feature people dying for the sake of them dying, but it is done in a fun manner. I see nothing funny about someone talking about how they are going to rape someone, kill their wife, and harm their mother.

You're probably right, though I'd contend that people don't necessarily listen to Eminem's music 'just' for the profanity. They can repeat those words to each other. The point of the song is not the swears, its generally the emotion and issue behind them, which is articulated very poorly when it comes to social niceties. Though the profanity is part of the 'fun', just as the rape/murder/suicide in the movie is 'fun'. I hear what you're saying though, I know a lot of people who believe Eminem is not appropriate for 'mainstream' media.
