@Pogue Yes!
@Pogue David the bit.ly link is bad. Sorry.
@Pogue You killed Tom's blog. Backup source?
@Pogue "because it contains content that ridicules public figures"? This nation was FOUNDED on satire! What is democracy w/o it, "Apple"?!?
@Pogue Considering the amount of garbage that DOES get through, yeah.
@Pogue I think the proprietary nature of the app store is helpful, but they need to hire millions/get computers to expedite the process
@Pogue Absolutely they should approve that app. I'm not a fan of anything goes, but that app is nowhere near crossing any 'bright red' lines
@Pogue Another strange rejection http://suprb.com/dropular-vs-apple/
@Pogue Got an error message on your last link.
@Pogue yes
@Pogue I think that they're justified as the caricatures released in the future may be far more insulting in their teasing. It's a stretch
@Pogue Yes
@Pogue No
@Pogue I think they should allow it.Nothing in there that's offensive,and nothing different than a newspaper might print any day of the week
@Pogue Looks like your tweet crashed Tom's blog
@Pogue it's just more Political Correctness gone horribly awry. It would really help people get to know their representatives....#badChoice
@Pogue Apple should back down on all editorializing. Insecure? Reject. Unstable? Reject. Offensive, obnoxious, pointless or puerile? Rate.
@Pogue Hey I'm a developer. They reject for lesser stuff than that, but this one got thru- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tksMKc0P...
@Pogue definitely!!! Doesn't Apple have an appeals process? Oh! Google would know....
@Pogue of course "yes," but the web site is probably overloaded now.
@Pogue I normally like Apple but yes, that is ridiculous. Shouldn't be restricting what consumers put on the devices they paid for, at all.
@Pogue yes! Apple is getting out of hand with rejections. Would love this app.
@Pogue Absolutely! All members rendered equally. 1st time I'm seriously questioning being an Apple customer.
@Pogue no.
@Pogue Last I looked, that app would be protected speech. I think Apple is way off base.
@Pogue • I'd be curious to see their "caricatures" of the people of color bcuz they only included white politicians in the screen grabs.
@Pogue A thousand times yes.
@Pogue yes. And googles. And that book b/c it had "iPhone" in title. All stupid rejections.
@Pogue Apple, yet again, is being ridiculous - looks like a great app!
@Pogue Yup... too much censorship.
