I shudder to think of the state our society would be in if the measure of an activity's social acceptability was the remunerative benefit to the activity's participants. Bank robbing, prostitution, drug dealing and identity theft all have the potential to reward those who conduct such activities, too. So, good for the guidos for getting rich by flaunting their boorishness for all to see, but I'm still with PeterT: I don't think this show's popularity says a good thing about the state of our culture.

That was way too much "lawyer-speak" for a single post.

Actually, I think that was more "literature-major speak." Most lawyers I know don't talk like that either. Your translation is good enough for government work.
