Kosta just keeps finding the corrupt, the sleazy, and the truly bizarre in the App Store. What is Apple spending all those billions from the 30% tax on? It sure isn't operating an actually safe, secure, and sanctioned store of apps. Anyway, off to install this for our 5-year old!

Maybe we can even get some new, beautiful iPads today with even better screens to play our... uhmmm.. ladies in underwear with man-dogs on a leash games for 4 year-olds. Apple Approved! 😬
Although I guess it's possible that this bizarre game is in the App Store because an Apple employee submitted it? Apple has quite the history in that regard. wired.com/2010/08/apple-…
Look, if you want to play weird-ass games like this on your iPhone. Or peeing simulators. Or whatever the hell, THAT'S FINE! The iPhone is a pocket computer, and you should be able to install whatever software you want. But why does Apple need to give its seal of approval?
If Apple let people install the software of their choice on the iPhone, they wouldn't be under this unworkable pressure of trying to police 2 million apps. They could be MORE selective in what gets to be on the store. Because the store wouldn't be the only way to get software.
Apple has put themselves in an impossible situation by making the App Store the only road to installing software for the iPhone, and then putting a tollbooth on there. They NEED to justify the shakedown, so Security & Safety is the go-to argument, but it doesn't work at 2m apps.
