An App Store gatekeeper, whose name may or may not be Peter, officially positioned Apple as a ‘Holier Than Thou’ company recently, by rejecting the whimsical photobooth application Me So Holy.
The app would have allowed users to place photographs of themselves or others inside pre-set figure avatars that could let cousin Jim appear to be the face of Jesus, or Joe Bob to be Mohammed, or Mary Jane to be a bodhisattva, or, you get the picture.
Apple rejected the app, saying it “contains objectionable material,” according to Me So Holy developer Benjamin Kahle.
Someone at Apple must have not gotten the Jesus phone memo.
