This thread is kinda funny because the question has already been answered.
Like AM said, certain things are considered 'child porn' which is (to my knowledge) illegal pretty much anywhere that there are laws. To me, that says that a metaphoric line has already been drawn on this subject so you really just need to go look up the definitions in the child porn laws and you'll have the exact answer to how far society says is "too" far.
Now, personally, I'm a big freedom of speech guy. I think every one should be allowed to say whatever they think or want to say at any particular point in time without someone else trying to tell them they can't say it. That being said, there's something to be said for personal responsibility and for one's own morals as well and what one chooses to say is primarily the deciding factor in what another person thinks of them. Put it this way... As a matter of principle, I think Joe Schmoe Director should be able (free to choose) to make a 90 minute film of a guy fucking kids, corpses, invalids and a few household pets if he so chooses... BUT if anyone actually ever did make that film, my opinion of them would be that they are a sick piece of fuckin' shit that was probably abused and molested as a kid. Does that make any sense? I believe he should have the right to make such a movie, I would just have question the motives and mental condition of anyone that actually chose to exercise that right.
