You can’t see bare-chested women in the iTunes store, but a big fat nude male torso that makes music is perfectly acceptable.
Enter the Belly Jam app, wiggly musical goodness offered gratis on iTunes. OK, musical goodness is pushing it, but the idea is you touch the tummy or chest to make 16 different sounds.
The mechanism — slap that fat to make a soundtrack – is similar to apps like iBoobs, where users shook the iPhone to jiggle a pair of breasts.

But while iBoobs was rejected by iTunes long ago for objectionable content, Belly Jam squeezed right in the store.
The Belly Jam app is rated 12+ for infrequent or mild sexual content or nudity – which would seem to point to the fact that a nude torso is somehow more racy than just a belly.
Apps like BellyButton, where users “tickle” male or female mid-sections, is only suitable for users 9+ for mild profanity or crude humor.
Of course Apple has a right to decide what apps populate their store.
But if nudity is not considered family fare, why not keep it classy?
