Apple Rejects Jesus
Apple has rejected an iPhone app that would enable users to fashion their mugs into portraits resembling Jesus Christ.

The app, called Me So Holy, involves using the iPhone's camera to snap a mug shot of someone, which can then be scaled and cropped to replace Jesus' face. Apple rejected the app, saying it "contains objectionable material," according to Me So Holy developer Benjamin Kahle.

Now I think the Fundies would object to this app, but who knows.

2. The offensive part is the western features of the "jesus". Good for IPhone.

6. They rejected my app too...
I had an app called "Me So Limby" where you could use the camera to snap a mugshot and cropped the photo into Rush Limbaugh's face. Apple rejected the app saying Rush's head size exceeded the maximum resolution of the iPhone display.

9. This is why apple will fail in the end
They hold to tightly to "accepted" uses of their products.

Google is going to turn them into an also ran in ten years or less. Mark my words.
