Jiggle Physics On the iPhone Are Only Acceptable If Used On Real Boobs

Some time ago there was an app submitted to the iPhone App Store called iBoobs. This was an application which displayed a pair of 3D boobs (wearing a bra) and read accelerometer data. Essentially this means that every time you moved or shook your iPhone, the boobs would jiggle. How funny. But as you can maybe see from the link if the German translation is comprehensible, the app was not approved by Apple because “Applications must not contain any obscene, pornographic, offensive or defamatory content or materials of any kind (text, graphics, images, photographs, etc.), or other content or materials that in Apple’s reasonable judgement may be found objectionable by iPhone or iPod touch users.”

But yesterday Apple apparently did approve something called Wobble. It’s an application that allows you to add “wobble regions” to photographs. These regions will jiggle when you shake your iPhone. (Hint: You put them on boobies!!!!)

Seems Apple’s being their hypocritical selves again. After the jump, videos explaining why…

Here’s iBoobs. I don’t find it particularly entertaining myself, but the demo video shows that it’s hardly offensive or pornographic:

Contrast this with Wobble. Observe:

The use of actual boobies, to me, seems more pornographic than the use of fake ones. But there are two possible arguments in Apple’s favor here:
- Wobble, while obviously intended to make boobs jiggle, doesn’t come preloaded with any
- Apple does not condone the practice of ogling over fake tits because women shouldn’t feel the need to get implants or something

Either way, iPhone users have made a purchase, not a rental or lease or whatever, from Apple, and should therefore be allowed to put whatever they damn please onto it regardless of whether Apple likes it. But still, jiggle physics are always funny, especially when they create controversy.
