    Well not only that, but did you see the way her bust ?iWobbled? while she was running in that 1984 commercial? Scandalous! I can?t believe a moral and upstanding company such as Apple would attach their name to something that could be construed as ?overtly sexual? in nature as this commercial.



    The thing that has me most concerned about this new policy is that Playboy, SI?s Swimsuit issue, and a few other Apps are still on there. Selectively enforcing this policy is a bad idea.

    According to you they should be entitled to do so.



    LINES MUST BE DRAWN.



    It's where those lines lie that creates the dilemma for Apple.



    btw is that the same Internet that is freely accessible from Apple devices?





    Yeah, they should not be censored. Since child pornography is criminal act, they should get prosecuted, and likely put in jail, but any form of censorship is way worse than what it tries to "protect" us from.

    This has got to be one of the stupidest arguments I've ever read.



    But to answer your question, yes, if that developer wanted to, he can create and submit it to Apple for review. There's absolutely nothing that can stop him from downloading the SDK and creating the app in his home. That's his right.



    Once he submits it to the App Store, I hope that the monitors would be smart enough to raise red flags and forward the contact information to the police for investigation and remove the app quickly.



    But with different levels of controls in place and properly implimented, I see no problems with having a section for adult apps.
