Apple’s leftwing politics have reared their ugly head again. The computer company has killed an iPhone app because it contained caricatures of Democrat Nancy Pelosi and other members of congress. Apple called the caricatures “objectionable.”
The iPhone app directory featured drawings of every member of Congress by freelance cartoonist Tom Richmond. The developer of the app believes his product was killed because Pelosi’s husband is a major Apple stockholder.
Fox News reports:
“Everyone’s talking about the health care bill and calling their congressman, but sometimes it’s hard to find their numbers,” Ray Griggs said. “We made an iPhone app that puts them a click or a phone call away, and links by GPS to find your congressman or senator’s contact information. We thought Congress wanted to hear from their constituents.”
Griggs noted that Apple has approved apps that simulate the sound of human flatulence, that let users make models out of human feces, and that create a bloody knife when the iPhone is shaken. There have also been controversial images of women’s breasts, and a notorious app that let the user quiet a crying baby by shaking it into silence, which was subsequently removed.
We have to agree with Griggs on this one. On the ten point objectionable scale, we’re pretty sure Pelosi falls somewhere between human flatulence and human feces.

my ipod is completely broken (permanent sad ipod) even though i treated it like the holy friggin grail (as i do all my electronics over 30 bucks)
my macbook pro’s graphics card is failing and apple wont fix it, because its somehow my fault, the laptop also began to literally fall apart, and is no longer structurally sound. again, i treated it perfect, they say its my fault.
ive had the macbook for 1 year, and ive had my HP laptop for 4 years, you know how many problems ive had with my HP? not. a. single. one. and that was with vista installed.
i will never again trust apple with my money, those jerks wont even pay up or give me their “famous customer support” because i didnt want to buy a 400 dollar warranty plan, and the one year plan apparently wont cover horrible harware failure.
oh, and hp gave me free repair when my desktop went out 2 years after the warranty was out.
so in short, apple isnt afraid to be open about their politics, and their products are not backed up, BUY PC. hahaha.
(w7 is more than amazing)
Wow. I mean, really??? It’s a cute application that feature caricatures. I think it’s cute and little humorous. Apple just lost what little business I give them.
I would be offended if they used ACTUALLY pics of Pelosi. Looking at a cartoon version of her is far less painful (but still unsightly).
I was never into the iCult of Apple. Then again I love PC gaming (and can build my own rig and don’t need a ‘genius’ at some bar to trouble shoot for me) and you really can’t game on a Mac so not shock where my loyalties lie.
Linux has the cache that Mac used to have back in the day BTW. Even Woz praised Google Android movement over the iPhone for its being open and not paralyzed.
