This is nothing more or less than corporate enforcement of religiously mandated shame in the name of profit.

There's never been a better time to loudly boycott Apple, an organization which clearly can no more "Think Different" than any other profit-mad lemming.

Much ado about nothing.

Apple telling me what I shouldn't have on my computing device is insulting to me as a free citizen and adult. There are some standards of which I agree but the scope of this censorship is way over the line. Like the Taliban, they believe the female body shouldn't be seen in anything but a burka.

This is a small step away from apple censoring and telling us what apps and content we can have on our desktop or laptop, after all isn't the iPad the next device of which is supposed to replace those?

I personally don't think shooter games are the healthiest thing either but its not my right to tell others what they are allowed to enjoy. Why is it that conservative purists always seem to find violence to be much more acceptable form of expression then anything deemed even mildly "sexual" in its nature.

This is an unfair and idiotic decision bases on a vocal minority of prudes who are simply afraid of the human body. Its apples right to censor whatever they want but I sure as heck don't have to support it.

This has me thinking twice about if I really want to support a product under this type of censorship, yet another example of how apple is slowly turning into another overbearing company like microsoft.

The only way Apple resembles Microsoft is that they have shareholders.

What are you blowing a gasket for? It's porn apps. LOL.

The swimwear app was reinstated anyway. Are you in the market for a thong?
