I would like to think that most of the people who know me well enough will agree that I have a sense of humor. My tastes in humor can range from the mundane, to a well said pun, or simply the mad cap adventures of a puppet. I really like puppet humor and there is one puppet that really makes me laugh out loud, like a braying donkey no less,the Mosspuppet.
The Mosspuppet has his own iOS app called Mossboard. It is his official iPhone app and it contains a collection of Mosspuppet sound bytes that you can play aloud and in any sequence you choose. You can see it demonstrated in the YouTube video above. It’s outrageously accurate and it looks like a lot of fun. I’m sure that it would have you in stitches in no time at all.
Unfortunately Apple doesn’t think that it is very funny since it was rejected from the App Store. Perhaps the reason for that is due to the fact that the app comes with a sound byte which mentions the puppets desire to touch Steve Jobs’ nipples. Perhaps Apple finds that offensive, but I only thought it was funny. However, according to the Mosspuppet’s Twitter feed the real reason for rejection was the apps references to journalist Walt Mossberg. Umm.. yeah like I believe that. [Note: If you are reading this Mr. Mosspuppet feel free to mention me in your app, but if you do be prepared to send me a copy of your app. I’ve got my UUID on standby.]
Come on Apple its just a parody. Have you forgotten that you’ve let other parodies into the App Store? I’m disappointed. Are you disappointed? Let Apple, Steve Jobs, and the world know whether you are or not by leaving a comment.
