Just because you can trick stupid people, that doesn't mean you should.
I'm glad Apple pulled the app. The developer agreement states that Apple has that right and can exercise it for basically any reason. In this case the app was barely an app at all and it generated a non-trivial amount of negative press that detracted from the reputation of the app store.
Can you imagine how much outrage there would be if an app like this had been produced by Apple or Microsoft? They'd never live it down. Why is it any more reasonable coming from an ISV?
Someone suggested that by pulling the app we are somehow heading down the road to a "nanny state," but I can't figure out where they're getting the "state" part. Certainly we can agree that Apple has the right to look out for it's own brands and the quality of it's own goods and services, right? I'm sure quite a few people at Apple (including shareholders) would be hesitant to profit from this kind of snake oil. They needed to draw a line somewhere and this seems like a good place to do it. There are so many great apps that are plainly more deserving of the attention and the money. I mean holy crap... have you seen BeatMaker?

I guess anytime we don't like something at the online store we should give it a low rating. Maybe we should all go over and give the Mac Mini 1 star. I wonder if they would take it down.
When I read this comment I thought it said "monkey trap" at which I would have responded... How in the world could this be a monkey trap. There's no transactions when they get caught and the monkeys don't complain - they just scratch themselves. My bad.
Somehow I can't refrain from thinking about how much good that money could do if it was donated to a trustworthy charity instead of spent on a useless app.

Even if it was a 2 minute thing, I have the right to comment on it, [so does everyone, as long as a thread isn't locked] even a couple of days afterwards.
I suggest you have your attitude tuned.
I'M sad they pulled this app
One more feature of the iPhone that apple won't let you exploit, IT MAKES YOU RICH!!! and only for the low cost of $999.99. Being rich is definitely worth 1000 bucks. I mean think about it. 1000 bucks makes you rich instantly. Thumbs down to you Mr. Jobs for not helping the middle class,
