I'm at work, so I'm not gonna go running searches on the band's name, but you should check out the "song" names from their other albums as well--I'm thinking specifically of "40 More Reasons to Hate Us" and "Everything is Wrong." (I'm not absolutely sure on the title of the latter, but it should get you close.)
I'd strongly encourage you to not bother with anything but the track names. Some of my friends found an AC CD in the street in middle school. I still think the song title "Pottery is Gay" is strangely hilarious (especially since it's on the same disc as "Recycling is Gay" and "You Went to See Dishwalla and Everclear (You're Gay)").
But then, I'm very, very immature. The actual music is every bit as awful as you'd imagine, of course.
I'm also a fan of The Fucking Champs' song titles—"I Love the Spirit World and I Love Your Father", "Thor Is, Like, Immortal", "Now Is the Winter of Our Discoteque", etc.
If you don't find AC offensive enough (I've never heard any of their songs either), I can recommend "the People Haters." It's a punk ska band made up of actual hate group members which some of my friends from undergrad found out about. Their best song title was probably, "Hollywood Jew Watch." The lyrics to that song consist entirely of saying actors and other celebrities names, followed by the word "Jew."
Saw an A/C t-shirt some years back (at Tulane) & have always been haunted by it---two drawing of a bound & gagged, naked woman. "What kind of person thinks this is a cool shirt to wear?" I wondered. Still wondering.
Have people truly never heard of this band?

I had heard of them, just never bothered to look at their track names.

Their other songs are similarly masterpieces.

I'm partial to Pansy Division myself. They're kind of sweet. "James Bondage," "Curvature," &c.

...there are always The Mentors, The Meatmen, and G.G. Allin.

Knowing nothing about their music has not prevented me from being unusually fond of John Cougar Concentration Camp.

I feel the same way about the Menstrual Tramps.

I once saw a poster for Marilyn Hanson. I think the show actually took place during the one week that joke was at peak flavor.

Likewise Bloated Scrotum, Bumgravy, and The Do I Look Like I Give a Fucks.

You know what was actually a pretty good album? Nashville Pussy's "Let Them Eat Pussy."

The Meatment don't belong in that group. They're purposefully comedic and gleefully juvenile in their offensiveness.

My friend Thomas clued me in to his favorite AC title: "The Word 'Homophobic' Is Gay"
I always assumed, given that title, that the band was some form of satire.
