    nobody banned the PlayStation when Grand Theft Auto came out

    GTA is a LOT more objectionable than this silly thing. They didn't ban the PlayStation or GTA.

    S&M porn and worse are on the internet, don't see that going away anytime soon.

    This app was a sick JOKE, you know, like the TV show Jackass?

    If you don't like it, don't download it.

    Maybe they should have charged $49.95 for it and donated the revenue to one of the groups that is complaining about it.

    The nattering net nannies always use "the children" as the excuse to ban anything that offends the lowest common denominator of society.

    Overkill and overreaction...
