Sugar-Coated Drug-Dealing Game Approved For iPhone
Pocket Gamer writes "Of course, Apple wouldn't allow such a salacious games as Dope Wars on the hallowed corridors of the App Store. What Catamount's done is sugarcoat its game (quite literally) and turned it into Prohibition 3: Candy Wars — a reskinned version of the exact same game."
I remember playing this in real life during high school... (Disclaimer: I attended HS in the mid-80s in So. Cali.)

Apple coule make a stand or put in an adults-only section of the store.
There's the catch.
If Apple were to make a stand, those same gullible people would cry foul, and before long, the iPhone is 'full of devil-music and Christ-defying smut', and there goes a good portion of conservative buyers.
On the other hand, if Apple put in an adults-only part of the store, we could skip people crying foul and jump straight to the devil-smut.
DISCLAIMER: I have no idea what I'm talking about.
So is figuratively the new old literally?
"His head literally exploded."
"I bet, he must have been really mad."
"No, his head exploded. You can pack a surprising amount of C4 in someone's mouth."
"Why'd you say literally then? You meant his head figuratively exploded."
"There's never enough C4..."
Yeah, well, some kids have to deal drugs for a living, you insensitive clod!

The type-o here is correct.
I HATE "kid-safe" apps and games, they drive me nuts!
the article says
but from the screenshot (same link) it seems these are just slang for drugs.
what would be sweet of course is if all these weren't common slang terms, but only become so because of the iPhone game!
