I think Apple’s App approval policy is doing more damage than Droid ads

Why was this app rejected? Public figure caricatures are illegal? Dumb!

This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. These caricatures aren’t mean or very exaggerated. They are simple, fun cartoon likenesses of the politicians and the purpose of the app is a informational database. There is no editorial commentary involved at all.

This is the very reason that Apple as a company should be taken to task over it’s ludicrous sanctimonious attitude. Clearly this app does not “ridicule public figures” and is violating nothing, but Apple has decided the world must be protected from the insidious subversiveness this would force upon the public and the brutal, heinous ridicule that my cruel, cruel caricatures would subject these politicians to.

This isn’t sanctimonious as much as it is dumb – I mean, is Apple so concerned that some teabaggers are going to show up because Michelle Bachmann was caricatured (it may happen, but so what?) Some scamming douche with 900 apps linking to a website was approved and this doesn’t?  Come on, guys.

h/t DF.
