Apple needs a new porn filter!

Not so long a The Steve himself declared that all porn applications are banished from the app store.
You know, it's a moral "OMG THINK OF THE CHILDREN" thing.   We wouldn't want Apple to be thought of as peddling porn!

Then there is this:


Yes, good old playboy still has their app.  There is no way this is by accident:
  • Playboy is the "eircar test" of porn blocking.  IT geeks type "www.playboy.com" in a browser whenever they want to test if the "nannyware" system that HR made them install, is actually working.  what Coca-cola is to soda, Playboy is to porn.
  • It has a 7+ rating
  • It warns for "Frequent/Intense Sexual Content or Nudity".  
  • There's "feed Africa"-sized cleavage on the main screenshot

Shame on you Steve.  You tricked me.  You told me that the appstore was safe!  Now my innocence is lost forever.

While on the subject, can anybody explain to me why looking at mammary glands on my iPhone is bad when those pixels are generated by an application, while they are perfectly OK when watched in full motion video:



Anybody?
