Apple rejects Peekababe, too-sexy app

[iPhone.Genius]

Apple shows its double standards and inconsistency by rejecting Peekababe... You can check out Peekababe on YouTube, and the only thing you see is that the user can take the clothes off the beautiful models to leave them in their seductive lingerie. You can also save these hot pictures for your iPhone’s wallpaper. What's wrong with that? Duh, Peekababe doesn’t have any kind of nude or pornographic pictures.
So why did Apple reject it? Apple rejected the app for claims of excessive sexual content. Oh, so it’s not OK for Peekababe’s models to show some skin and their lingerie, but it’s OK to kill, dismember, and chainsaw a game character on the iPhone?!

The app looks lame and dismembering a person with a chainsaw is not sexual in any way.

Not us normal people... however... (shudders)

I'd like to see the exact wording Apple used. The link you gave more generalities than specifics.

Also, checked out the YouTube link. Apple should have just said they rejected it because it is just too damn crappy. That's a much more valid reason to reject that stupid app.

Not that I really like the app or am at all interested in it but I have to agree that Apple needs to actually follow a set of guidelines here. There are tons of apps that do pretty much the same thing yet they weren't rejected.

It's odd is all.

Some developers make MLB At Bat. Others make iShoot. Then some make crap like this and whine when it doesn't get approved. I'm sure Apple is quaking in proverbial boots about this being on YouTube.

You can also legally buy a gun while you're not allowed to watch porn!

Great application

I actually liked this application a lot... I can see what some people are saying..there is quite some sexuality in this application. However, I do not think this application is more sexual than plenty of others Apple is selling. Are you guys actually getting offended by its content? I just think Apple should put a clear list of rules and just stick to it....And I hope this application comes out soon because I will be downloading it for sure.
