		<description>Dear God!  Won&#039;t somebody think of the children!?!

That said, I somewhat agree with you.  But I think Apple has fallen down on a few of these cases.

One problem is that the naughty apps were beginning to leak outside of where they belonged.  You started seeing them in &quot;Productivity&quot; and &quot;Utilities.&quot;  I&#039;m sorry, but a pretty girl in a bikini cleaning my screen is not a &quot;Utility.&quot;  Entertainment?  Sure.  But, then, the developer was the one who claimed this was a &quot;Utility.&quot;  Where were the people at Apple saying, &quot;Uh, no, it isn&#039;t&quot; and bouncing it back?

Second, if these posts exist, isn&#039;t it up to Apple to police them?  After all, it&#039;s their store--at least, that&#039;s what the fanbois say.  Removing an App because someone posted a link to a porn website in the comments is a bit extreme.  Will Apple take down my App--which has nothing to do with pornography but is extremely popular--because someone unknown to me said, &quot;Hey, check out pornsite.com!&quot; in the comments?

Don&#039;t get me wrong, the people who do this are jerks.  No doubt.  But this is something that Apple needs to deal with--not the developers.</description>
