Apple rejects South Park game for iPhone over "offensive" content
Chicago (IL) - Boing Boing reports that the developers behind a new South Park iPhone game submitted it for approval four months ago. And now the developers have received a note from Apple which confirms the game has been rejected, citing "potentially offensive" content. And the irony is, Apple's iTunes Store carries seasons 11 and 12 of the TV show South Park: Uncensored, though admittedly with a TV-MA warning. Apple's message is this: Watching potentially offensive content is okay. Playing it in a game is not.

Apple did the same thing for an e-book, so it's not surprising.

Re: Apple rejects South Park game for iPhone over "offensive" content
i don't see why they block it - users should have the choice to determine whether something is offensive to them or not....

I have a south park lunch box with Chef's chocolate salty balls on it. Is that offensive? Personally I find the cost of Apple products offensive!
