The long and short of it is, so few people watch this show nowadays... Most of us who do have been watching for so long, it doesn't really matter what happens anymore. We'll continue to watch until it's cancelled. Note that this doesn't constitute an endorsement of any alleged deplorable action that may or may not occur on the show, or the quality of the show in general. It simply is what it is... a show that's been in our lives for so long, it's hardly an option not to watch anymore.

As far as sparking outrage among the general public who aren't MTV viewers, I believe most people's first reaction to hearing about this case would probably be something along the lines of: "Those shows are still around?? Huh...".
