App Store: Bye Bye Boobies

Now you see them, now you don't. Apple has changed their minds on allowing breasts onto the iPhone.

Last month, an app that allowed you to see it wiggle and watch it jiggle (NSFW) was banned.  Then, a few weeks later, an application called Wobble made it into the App Store using a little loophole - instead of offering gratuitous booby shaking, it allowed users to add their own ‘wobble points’ to any picture.

Now, it seems as though Apple has reconsidered.  After getting 20,000 downloads over ten days, Apple has asked Wobble to eliminate anything having to do with ‘Boobs’ or ‘Booty’ from their marketing material. Developer Jon Atherton writes that he argued that here in the good old U.S. of A. we have a little thing called the First Amendment, only to be  informed that it was Apple’s way or the highway.

‘Boobs’ and ‘Booty’ are used on several occasions elsewhere within iTunes, so why can’t they appear on the App Store? Atherton writes:

Doing a search for “Boobs” in iTunes returns 143 results – many of them marked explicit, a search for “Booty” returns 150 items. Not surprisingly Wobble appears at the top of the list in both search terms. there are hundreds of songs in the charts that use the words Booty and Boobies. I asked “Why are Apps different?” – [Apple's] response, I’m only here to talk to you about the Appstore and can’t comment on iTunes.

Apple also wants Wobble to modify its YouTube video, although this was more of a request than a demand.

I guess with Apple you can iFart, but you can't iBoob...
