Closest you can find is news.arc, for example see a mirror on [1]. The canonical source should be in the arc distribution.

If you have no objection to a band, song or album cover that degrades your mother or someone else you love and revere, then hey, maybe it should all be fair game. Do you understand where I'm getting at? That's how Christians feel with names like that. P.S. I don't think for a second that the name of someone you love should be degraded. Nor should someone I love either. That's my point.
I am not quite sure that I do understand. Firstly I don't have any problem with art mocking my mother or anyone else. Secondly I think mocking my mother is more personal than mocking my religion so your argument doesn't quite work. Thirdly people of many religions listen to black metal, and are aware that often it is a parody of itself.

#18This seems similar to The Hype Machine. A site that gauges taste in music really needs lots of people using it for the "popularity" of a song to be useful.

what happened to "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it"?
Yes, I don't object.

I don't believe you.
