Hey, I appreciate black humor as much as the next person but I can't believe that Apple wants their name attached to this.

3. It's been removed from the App Store...
I wonder who approves Apps... There are so many new app submissions...I think Apple must use low-level type employees following a script or a checklist... Occasionally, bad apps slip by and good apps are rejected for no apparent reason.

6. Somebody mustn't like the company they work for very much.
I think it's as simple as that.

Pity about those who try to make good apps and get summarily rejected by Apple.

8. they rejected the South Park app
and yet one can download the same content (entire episodes) from the itunes store. Oh well, doesn't really bother me since I don't have an iphone. (I'm waiting on the Palm Pre.)

5. What if Microsoft put out a game with its moniker all over it?
You can imagine the vitriol. Of course, it's not Microsoft so therefore it must be OK a thing to do.

Um, NOT...

Apple control what they want to sell, and then that is the pigshit they authorize...

Well, that's the image Apple wants?

Looks like something developed in 1990, not 2009, requiring a b&w screen...

I suppose there's a positive spin on this: "Do it to the iphone and not junior". Virtual abuse.

It's just creepy a thing to read about...
