If parents don't want their kids looking this stuff up on the iPhone then maybe they SHOULDN'T BUY THEIR KIDS iPHONES!

Its common damn sense. Oh wait, I forgot common sense nowadays may as well be extinct, or put on the extremely endangered list.
Yeah. Learn2Parent FFS.

Annoys the hell out of me. Bad parents ruining everyone's fun.

Women should grow up too.

Feel free to add apps with dicks all over the place, I don't care, I'm mature enough to not be offended by it.

The f***? You ever hear of parental controls? You know, that thing that gives a parent the ability to turn off the ability to view such content?

I thought iTunes has a parental mode?

Honestly, I won´t missed sex-orientated apps in the AppStore.
The Internet is full of adult stuff already.

and admit it: the quality of these apps is mostly far out bad, anyway.
Most of them don´t even try to hide that they are all and only about mining the $$$ from
unexperienced minors anyway.


Besides that there are also a lot of religious based apps with questionable moral or equally offensive to me.
I wouldn't miss them either.


besides that the circumization in authorship rights is really questionable also.

but in the end it´s still better than what Nintendo and Sony do.
It´s really funny so see people bashing Apple for action Nintendo and Sony
suppressed from day one.

I love how Apple's concerns about objectifying women mysteriously stop as soon as it comes to Playboy and Sports Illustrated. "Chauvinism is perfectly alright if you make money out of it," is what that translates as.

This kind of double standard is rigorously enforced throughout society. The mall nearest to me cancelled an exhibition of life drawing by local students because it wanted to maintain a "family image" - while tactfully ignoring all the giant billboards they have posted throughout with risque lingerie and jeans models.

Not impressed with Apple. Decided to set themselves up as the nanny of everyone with an iPhone is insuilting enough. But to retain apps by Playboy or the Cosmo guide to sexual positions with step-by-step instructions just goes to show that the whole move is utter bullshit.
Playboy and Sports Illustrated have a lot of money to throw around. I'm sure that has nothing to do with their apps avoiding the chopping block.

Once again, we see the parents are being taken out of parenting. What your kids see and do is your fucking problem, not Apple's. Furthermore, I find it amusing to imagine some of these parents pulling their kids aside during the wedding reception:

"So, Timmy, I..."
"Tim."
"What?"
"It's just Tim now."
"Right, well, you see, when a man and a woman love each other very much, they do this special kind of hug..."
