Apple Rejects Nine Inch Nails iPhone App
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?"
I've been waiting since April 14th for my latest application to be 'approved'. It's called iTakeCredit, and I submitted it around the time that those new appstore ads (with the credit card terminal) went live.
My page for it is here: http://www.soulstrewn.com/itakecredit
It's not that complex an application, and my games and other stuff have gone through in the past much more rapidly. This is getting to be just silly.
If I had mod points I'd mark you a troll. You put a lot of effort into that if it's not just copypasta. Nice OC though, the world deserves to see it. I suppose I might give you a +5 funny instead. ;)

Oh boy, the one day I wish I had mod points to use.
space is pretty cool.
The Democrat / church sentence was probably flamebait in hindsight, perhaps I should have thought through my point to find more appropriate wording before posting. The deeply religious conservative people living in small towns who fear and reject most of the modern world tend to be the strong voting support of the Republicans, who would rather do just about anything than even listen to an alternate option, let alone vote for an alternate.
A better way of putting it is that some people like to live in a bubble where the real world does not enter. There is no swearing anywhere near them, nobody mentions the existence of sex, there is no violence unless it's the bad guys getting a whoopin' from the good guys on some repeat of a 50's western drama, there is no real injuries / blood etc. I grew up in this type of household, I know how it feels. It's also devoid of reality where many people enjoy legal consensual porn, even if they do it in secret and won't let anyone else know in case they are condemned as a pervert and fired from their jobs.
This conservative mindset seems to want to live in a world that time forgot rather than accept that most of us have moved on. They seem content to have all their censored for their own good, rather than risk seeing something which distorts their time bubble.

Q: Who spends +mod points on AC trolls?
A: Sock puppet retards.
You are where you are at the time you are there.
