It's bad taste especially that it was used as a means to drive controversy and the song was basically constructed around the title also. But it is not about killing, instead one of the band members stated that "Virgin Killer is none other than the demon of our time, the less compassionate side of the societies we live in today—brutally trampling upon the heart and soul of innocence."

Apparently the Band regrets it today and there's more background info and apparently there was a big Wikipedia shitstorm in 2008 about removing the artwork or not which led to some sort of edit ban in the UK [1].
