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.
