After all the cases of
benign apps being rejected on grounds of "
objectionable content," the first outright application featuring jiggly bits has made it to the App Store. How could this happen? Easy, Apple's shift in policy is made possible by the
parental controls included in the iPhone OS 3.0 -- you know, so
you can parent instead of Apple. Hopefully this brings an end to arbitrary App Store rejections and begins a new era of fire and brimstone threats of eternal damnation.

So this means they will allow bad words from facebook?..
world heart @ Jun 25th 2009 3:30AM
They should've put the bar across his face. Nothing more explicit than "the Hoff's" face.

Here's to accelerometer-driven simulators!

That is the ugliest Anita I've ever seen.
Saad Rabia @ Jun 25th 2009 3:31AM
For $2, I can buy a cheeseburger while watching all these "bikini babes" on Google image search!
yyan @ Jun 25th 2009 5:32AM
For free, I can be the creepy homeless guy that masturbates to porn in the public library.

@yyan
too true...*shudders*
F. C. @ Jun 25th 2009 3:33AM
Ok... so I just got the Anita thingy.
From My Cube @ Jun 25th 2009 7:39AM
care to explain?
insky @ Jun 25th 2009 3:36AM
What about the people who haven't upgraded to 3.0?
What about the people who have the iPod Touch and don't want to pay the $10?
Can their kids see the naughty bits?
216 @ Jun 25th 2009 7:32AM
if they have access to google they can
Erb @ Jun 25th 2009 3:46AM
Yay for iPorn!
davebroham @ Jun 25th 2009 3:59AM
lol I can imagine the upcoming "premium" content
Bonqueesha @ Jun 25th 2009 4:02AM
That picture is comic genius. I love this site! :D
B3astofthe3ast @ Jun 25th 2009 4:02AM
I still think Apple will dictate what goes in the app store with an iron fist.
erwin @ Jun 25th 2009 4:07AM
in a couple of days the appstore will need a porn category...and it's gonna be bigger than the games category.
TVGenius @ Jun 25th 2009 10:03AM
As if there aren't already hundreds of iPhone-friendly free porn sites out there...
peepeepants @ Jun 25th 2009 4:22AM
I can finally release my Wall Of Vaginas app, yesss!!!!!
Ted @ Jun 25th 2009 4:37AM
Does someone have a link to what Apple considers offensive contact and will block from the App Store?
ED @ Jun 25th 2009 8:26AM
Are you asking for a list of rules, or for links to the actual content? :P
Garst @ Jun 25th 2009 5:20AM
What the Hell is Anita Bryant?
loocas @ Jun 25th 2009 8:24AM
I don't know... but I assume she's got boobs.
ml021469 @ Jun 25th 2009 9:02AM
Goodness, you're children of the info age and you still ask such questions! Ah, em...google, bing, or wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Bryant
She's a hate-filled shrew of an ex-beauty queen, high-nasal singer who would have rightfully faded into obscurity except she took hate on the road.
This might be a biased observation, though.
Johnny @ Jun 25th 2009 10:46AM
@ml021469: Actually, I think you went easy on her.
fmian @ Jun 25th 2009 5:00AM
Let's not forget that I was looking up porn on my smartphone about 4 years ago.

Hasselhoff drunk act...how dare you.
allenvanhellen @ Jun 25th 2009 7:08AM
I remember some kids having ~4 frame animations of porn on their TI-85 graphing calculators in Calculus. There was a program that emulated shades of gray (or blue) by flickering the display. Crude cubed!
rotty @ Jun 25th 2009 7:55AM
WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
Magallanes @ Jun 25th 2009 9:18AM
At least not Gary Coleman.

loocas @ Jun 25th 2009 8:23AM
Yay! Finally we can get Fascistic apps, big boobs, plans on making atomic bombs and all that fecal entertainment flowing through the iPhones as I don't see ANY parent actually even knowing their kid has that on their iPhone, more so they can prevent their kid from viewing so. Hell, I wouldn't even wonder if the kid had the iPhone locked on a 128bit strong password...
Still, what sense does locking, blocking or censoring content make? Once you're on the net, you can see stuff you've never even dreamed about in the worst nightmares!
Oh... wait, this is an Apple product... right, sheep don't mind fencing...
Stan @ Jun 25th 2009 8:58AM
The name of the App is.. Hottest Girls. Look for it.
Alert: NSFW, obviously.
chang.seea @ Jun 25th 2009 9:24AM
Thank god for 'Picture Safe' on the iPhone then.
Has saved me from getting busted with pron on me device many many times ;D
Stay Safe everyone :)
Jay L @ Jun 25th 2009 9:42AM
ooooh Porn :-)
-j @ Jun 25th 2009 9:43AM
does this mean a real version of Dope Wars is next? *begging*

scape @ Jun 25th 2009 10:07AM
that headline photo really got me laughing!!
slingshot317 @ Jun 25th 2009 10:52AM
apple is full of contradictions
Tsing Tao @ Jun 25th 2009 12:18PM
How are they full of contradictions? When there was no way to prevent kids from download this app other than completely locking them out of the app store, they had no choice. Or i guess you could just let everything in and when the Moms of Fox and Friends sue the crap out of you OVER AND OVER because little jimmy is walking around sporting wood and screaming vagina.
Or you could wait until you properly implement parental controls like the 360, ps3, and even WII, and then give people access to all kinds of stuff without having to go to court with a bunch of Sarah Palin wannabe's.
Sean @ Jun 25th 2009 11:44AM
Anita Bryant...really dude?
You can't think of anyone newer...Tipper Gore was only 15 years ago.
William @ Jun 25th 2009 12:23PM
does this mean we will see the return of iboob?
Michael @ Jun 25th 2009 1:07PM
I am sure that there may be some entertainment value but why would you want this on your iPhone? This seems to be less interesting than porn sites.
I am not sure why Apple blocks this type of stuff. I simply cannot imagine the demand being all that high.You could not pay me to put crap like this on my phone.
Nelanka Perera @ Jun 25th 2009 1:21PM
Thought that pic would make the screen crack! :)
thejay2012 @ Jun 25th 2009 5:18PM
Oh thank god! Maybe this means I will now be able to play DopeWars instead of the various CandyWars games.
