Cliff, you either need to see more current movies or stop looking back at that era with the twisted view of nostalgia. Lolita was re-made in the late 90s and much more explicit then the original. The Reader in 2008 about a grown woman and a 15 year old boy. Many other movies about taboo subjects.
Tarantino's and Django Unchained laugh at your assertion movies about race and language like that can't be made today. All of Tarantino's films are essentially comedies IMO. Comedies like White Chicks and Borat pushed that envelope as well. Borat is just as out there with it as Blazing Saddles was.
