Many laughed at the sight of a reporter chucking his shoes at former prez George W. Bush — but Apple didn’t find it funny enough to approve an iPhone app reenacting the incident.
Apple recently rejected MyShoe, an app that uses the iPhone’s accelerometer to virtually heave a shoe at a cartoon Bush, according to Mashable.
Mashable claims receiving a copy of the rejection letter, which says Apple "determined that we cannot post this version of your iPhone application to the App Store because it contains content that ridicules public figures."
The iPhone App Store’s terms of service says applications may not contain obscene, pornographic, offensive or defamatory content. However, the developer, based in Pakistan, told Mashable he felt the move was a "huge discrimination against public opinion, as major portions of the world reject Bush’s policies on Iraq and attacks on Pakistan.”
