(Premiere Prep)
Last month, there was a bit of controversy with the iTunes store and an iPhone application called iBoobs.
Apple banned the 3D breast jiggling application iBoobs (the greatest iPhone app of all time?) from the iTunes store, saying the application was just too offensive.
Check It Out: You be the judge. A video of the iBoobs application can be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7v8QAw_8Rs. (Safe for Work)
A New Era ...
But two new apps have hit the iTunes store -- and it looks like they're not getting pulled.
1. iFloaty -- Inspired by those pens you used to buy that had a sexy girl on them. Turn the pen upside down, and the girl's clothes came off -- turn it right side up, and back they came.
2. Shake Mates -- Shake Mates also works with a cartoon woman. Here, as the name suggests, you shake your iPhone. The more you shake the woman, the more clothes come off -- just like in real life.
What is Offensive ...?
The thing about iPhones is that they're out in the open. Unlike your home computer, which is on your desk in your dark and creepy office, iPhones can be seen by everyone around you.
Therefore, it just feels different. While looking at pictures of boobies on the home computer is truly harmless -- it might be a bit less harmless to have pictures of boobies flapping out in the open on your iPhone.
