I really think the Mac OS side needs to come down to the iPhone side and give those guys a lesson in how to run an OS that makes people happy without slamming doors in their faces.

I have always hated this tendency towards being overly-PC … I am a parent and can BE the parent to my kids, I don’t need Apple or Microsoft or Google or the government telling me what the acceptable moral standards are for my kids.

-Google app (could search for dirty things)
-Facebook app (could have dirty status updates)
-Twitter (dirty tweets)
-Safari (could be using it to access offensive materials!)
-iPod app (could play “Downward Spiral”! NOOOOOO!)
-iPod app for video (could play a NIN video! Or, even worse, a Quentin Tarantino movie! What will happen to the world’s delicate ears if we hear an f-bomb?)
-SMS app (Kids could be sexting!)
-Drop MMS update (See SMS ban)
-Phone app (could call someone with a dirty mouth!)
-Photos app (could have dirty photos installed!)
-Mail app (could be emailing/receiving something dirty!)
-Youtube app (no getting around the dirty videos ban!)

At this point, Apple should just release a device with iFart, Stocks, and Weather. Otherwise someone is bound to be offended and we can’t have people choosing to expose themselves to uncouth language.

On the NIN’s site Reznor talks about a incident a few years ago with Walmart and the requiring of parent advisory labels for CDs and even the possibility of them not carrying certain music because of questionable content.

But not two feet from where these “questionable” CDs were kept you could turn and pick up a DVD of Scarface or a copy the game Grand Theft Auto.

This part of the iTunes problem strikes a similar cord.

And it is again an issue where there is a double- or triple-standard at work … you can buy songs with those words, you can certainly buy movies with those words … but you cannot get the app? Nonsense!
