"It's Outrageous, egregious, preposterous!"
What a lame-ass excuse. Why don't they just get to the point and admit that Sports Illustrated and Playboy worked out some lucrative deals with them (Apple). All three stand to make bank if they have essentially monopolized the female form as viewed through Apple's devices (not counting indirectly via safari, dropbox, etc.).
I say, it would seem that the good blokes over at Apple are distinguished gentlemen that would never desire to see women portrayed as images of lust, oh no. That would simply be rubbish. Quite.
I personally think all these 'half-naked girls' apps are silly and are of no loss to the app store. Yet, I am strongly opposed to the suppressive nature of sexuality in our culture. So the question is, are these apps just part of a healthy sexual diet or degrading/perverted. Each case is unique I imagine.
When exactly did sexually become a part of our culture to be shared with everyone? Last I checked it was something shared among two people and has always been that way. Anyone who is happy at home with their spouse should not talk about sex with anyone other than their partner. It will only open the doors to cheating no matter how much you think you can control yourself. And the images make it harder to control your thoughts and conversations.
And I'm sure there are a lot of people who agree with you including a lot of people within my family as well. I respect that.
Yet I'm just saying I don't, and therefore I have a small problem with this move made by Apple. I'm just going to leave it at that though because I'm sure the Icrontic gods are not fond of political/spiritual/sexual debates.
Apple can sell whatever they want, it is their freedom and decision. But, when they restrict the apps on their devices with the apps from their store, this becomes imposing their decisions on everyone. There is the problem. I don't and won't have an IPhone/IPad/ITouch anyway.
Is anyone honestly arguing about how dressed/undressed these women are when you have access to the internet? Do you not download these apps from an online store?

Thanks for comparing me to the guy at the bottom of the slope. It's funny though that you showed a cartoon to prove how things are not getting worse when in fact you showed how they are getting worse. From a biblical stand point, I have nothing further to say, because honestly it will do no good. I'm out, see you in the next thread.
to each his own... that's my motto. As long as no one is getting hurt I am happy to let people make their own choices. I have issues when another, be it a person, religion, business, or government, imposes their beliefs/ morals upon me. Double standards, partial enforcement, varing repercussions for identical actions... those things tick me off.
If Apple want to be the Moral Police on their own store front. good for them but, by damn, they had better be consistent and ban all offensive material and not just those that do not make it money.

Clifford, Don't let Thrax get to ya. Its hard for him, living his life a social misfit, a deviant in every possible way. I mean, he run's Intel, freaking Intel, and only drinks wheat beer, seriously, the guy has serious issues.

I suggest we both pray for him....
Hey, being a deviant in some ways isn't a problem.

Oh, and Clifford, I forgot to mention, he hangs out with Gnome Queen. Pray for our brotha Thrax, pray hard, and pray often so the good lord shall heal his twisted soul!!!

?
Wait. So if I decide not to sell you something you would otherwise buy it's me who is imposing something on you?
So we should be able to force individuals or companies to sell what we want them to?
I'm sorry if I misunderstood you, but that's what it sounds like you're saying.

I said my say. I wasn't going to extend it further.
