It the “objectionable content” cull of iPhone applications from the App Store, due to an unknown quantity of women having a moan about women being degraded by iPhone apps which show a little flesh, it appears that the latest iPhone app to fall under this piety hammer is the SuicideGirls app.

The guys over at gizmodo say that SuicideGirls empowers women and thus its removal seem questionable at the least. The SuicideGirls app for iPhone shows women in their underwear when the iPhone is tilted, much like one can get on those novelty heat up cuts or tilting pens.

The thing is this, if women in underwear and such is the premise for removing the iPhone apps then why has Apple not removed the Sports Illustrated app for iPhone? The reason is apparently that Sports Illustrated is “a well-known company with previously published material available broadly in a well-accepted format.”

Personally I feel that if Apple is going to go the holier than thou route and remove questionable iPhone apps based on showing the female form, then all iPhone apps of the like should be removed including the big money making names, otherwise rein it in Apple and put back what you have already thrown out or risk being accused of double standards.
