I think a lot of them are just gratuitously offensive.  The one that gets
me is the "spoken word" part of Aphex Twin's "Come To Daddy" CDEP.  I'd
love to lend a bunch of people that disc, because I think I could
introduce some people to this kind of music with it (it has a wide variety
of styles), but with that part in there, well, it doesn't offend me, but I
wouldn't be surprised at all if it offended someone else.  At least
"Milkman" is funny.

It's a shame only because it's so unnecessary and detracts from the often
fine music associated with it.  Give me Autechre titles any day.  But hey,
who the hell am I, right?  *shrug*
