RIM Trying To Woo Customers With Porn, Gambling Apps?
AZA43 writes "Everybody knows that BlackBerry-maker RIM is hurting these days. But is it hurting enough to try to attract new customers with the promise of porn and/or gambling apps? A new rating system added to RIM's BlackBerry App World store suggests that it just may be that desperate. The new 'Adult' rating covers, 'graphic sexual content, graphic nudity,' 'graphic violence,' and gambling apps 'as permitted by law.' And that suggests RIM will allow this kind of content into App World, in stark contrast to Apple's no-porn-on-the-iPhone stand."
Still, mobile porn is pathetic. I don't have a problem with porn in general, in fact, I do enjoy watching the occasional black cock with the dimensions of a 24 oz. can of Miller pulling a petite white or Asian inside out every now and then.
But mobile porn is kinda creepy. People who enjoy mobile porn strike me as the kind of people who beat off in the bathroom stalls at work because they can't wait to get home to rub one off. And the people who watch mobile porn also like to show it to their friends, as if trying to start a circle-jerk. No thanks.
Yeah. Porn. Did you even click on the link? Here, I'll make it easy for you - here's the graphic that spells it out - http://blogs.cio.com/sites/cio.com/files/u80/BB_AppWorldRatings.jpg
Heck, I'll even write it out for you in case you're not even willing to click on one link - "Graphic sexual content, graphic nudity, or content appropriate only for or legally restricted to persons at least 18 years of age."
If that doesn't describe porn than I don't know what does. Porn.
