Apple under fire for gay conversion app

QuoteThe app is offered free on Apple's iTunes online shop and was given a "4+"    rating by the company, meaning it is not considered to contain objectionable    content.

That is some funny shit right there.

Normally I would side with Apple, since I don't think it is or ought to be their job to filter content for their users. If some dipshit wants a gay conversion app, who is Apple to say they cannot have one?

However, since Apple has already gone down that road of censorship, this seems like as good a candidate as any to be removed on the grounds of it being ignorant and offensive.

I truly wonder how the hell this slipped in under their radar.  :lol:

We are definitely not at war with Apple. We have simply sent a moderately worded protest note, but usual diplomatic channels remain functional.

I don't feel comfortable when Martinus tries to speak for gays of the Modern World.

Martinus' attempt to be gay clashes with his attempt to be a hipster.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

You'd think that Apple would be more sensitive to the feellings of the vast majority of their customers.

Sounds like you're a orientation traitor.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Well Apple's flagship store in Manhattan is in Chelsea. :whistle:

I'm only using the lasso of truth.
