    wow they dont want people jail breaking but boy do they push you to do it, but why not just do an 18+ section that requires verification and be done with it, they get to make even more money and everyone is a little bit happier.

    Well we all know that playboy and sports illustrated have higher standers than any indie developer ever can. They also have more money and under Apples Golden Rule "He who has the gold makes the rules".

    I'm surprised how many people are objecting to this. I find it hard to call any of the people who create these things "developers", much less acceptable human beings. The guidelines presented are a bit strict, but despite that, it's ludicrous that they would even accept what are essentially poorly-veiled masturbation aids. I do think that freedom of information is important, of course, but frankly, as a publisher, Apple needs to show public responsibility. Would they tolerate racism and homophobia in their apps? I doubt it, yet they seem to have no problem with sexist materials

    so what about that gay-cruising app Grindr? im not homophobic, but i can imagine the same 'think of the children' attitude would condemn that too.

    Spot on! according to Crapple, I'm not allowed to watch a pair of boobs wobble but I can seek out using the gps the closest homosexual for a little action. WTF!

    I don't understand anyone commenting here on how they can defend Crapples decision. You can't allow Grindr, Playboy or Sports Illustrated etc. but stuff every other sexual referencing app because it isn't well known? I only found out about Grindr when Jeremy Clarkson joked about it with Stephen Fry on Topgear. Does that warrant it's inclusion?

    This doesn't bother me in the slightest, never bought an apple product never will.

    To be fair though, I don't blame apple for this, i blame all the whiny people that are afraid of everythin. Why is it no one can take responsibility for themselves or their kids. If you don't like it, don't fecking get it. Its THAT simple.

    I love how America is the land of freedom, yet all they do is censor everything.
