Apple Rejects Nine Inch Nails iPhone App

Posted by timothy on from the you-must-be-this-tall-and-this-melodic dept.

jarrettwold2002 writes "Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails announced via his Twitter account today, 'Apple rejects the NIN iPhone update because it contains objectionable content. The objectionable content referenced is "The Downward Spiral."' The initial NIN Access iPhone app garnered much fanfare (Wired article, Guardian article) and was approved by Apple. The update has been rejected due to an album reference. If Nine Inch Nails is having problems with censorship and approval what kind of problems are you having with the iPhone app approval process?"

    Looking at his Twitter feed, who woulda thought that Trent would be such a boring twit?

    I understand Apple's position to a certain extent, after the whole baby-shaking incident, but

    Does this mean "Twist and Shout" by the Beatles, with lyrics misheard as "We're shakin' a baby now", won't go on iTunes Store?
