Me So Holy Now Available On Cydia!!

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 14:03:08 -0400

After all of the press our Me So Holy app received after being rejected, we resubmitted the app in hopes of approval. On May 23rd we received this email:
Your application, Me So Holy 1.0, is requiring unexpected additional time for review. We apologize for the delay, and will update you with further status as soon as we are able.
Three days later we received a call from Apple regarding the app. He was very nice and informative but unfortunately told us that Apple would never allow Me So Holy into the app store, and that no parental controls or modifications to the app itself could save the app from permanent rejection.
So Me So Holy is now available in the Cydia store for free. Be sure and pick it up! Thanks.

This guy says on Now Public-

“Apple has rejected yet another app, this time negging Me So Holy, an application which would allow the user to place his or her face on the body of a religious figure. So you can’t be Jesus on the Jesus Phone. You also cannot be Ganesh, Zoroaster, or any other deity on the Jesus Phone. Thanks, Apple, for ruining our bordering-on-sacrilegious fun.”

Time for a jailbreak?

Time for a jailbreak?:

Mediapost writes,

“The digital rights group Electronic Frontier Foundation is urging authorities to grant a DMCA exemption for jailbreaking, or tinkering with iPhones (and other devices) so their owners can run unapproved applications.

Apple adamantly opposes the EFF on this issue, but the company’s seemingly random and arbitrary bans on iPhone apps illustrate all too clearly why jailbreaking should be allowed.”

Also, read EFF’s post mentioning Me So Holy here.

This is a great debate thread, check it.

He's totally right! :)

He's totally right! :):

”The Store rejected the app because they didn’t include Steve Jobs as one of the religious figures.”

Funny Message Board Thread:

Here’s a couple witty comments-

“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.”

“I bet it would pass if they add a fart function”

“While we can see where people might be offended by the lighthearted treatment of holy figures, we also know that the App Store once sold an app called Babyshaker, and at this moment, the #9 most popular app is called Pee Monkey Toilet Trainer. What’s more, jokes about God’s only begotten son are fucking hilarious and fit for the iPhone’s target demographic, as Family Guy and South Park have shown us. So what now, Cupertino? If we can’t have faith in the JesusPhone, what are we supposed to have faith in? Jesus? Forget it; that guy’s not half as handsome as I am.”

Something Besides iFart Stinks At Apple

Something Besides iFart Stinks At Apple:

We agree with Pimp My Wry’s point. Just wanted to note, that there are many religions we included in our app, not just Christians.
“What gives Apple? You have respect for Christians but not for women? You know it’s bad to market a product that makes fun of Shaken Baby Syndrome, but you think it’s great to sell another, iGirl, that allows users to shake their iPhone to see their iGirl stumble?
Once again, iPutOff.”

Maybe Android will be next for us

Maybe Android will be next for us:

iPhone Saviour says,

“For Jobs sake Apple! What’s the problem? Should we expect “Me So Holy” to make an appearance as an Android app long before it ever disgraces the iPhone? That’s one question that begs the answer, “What Would Google Do?” It’s too early to tell, but the bigger question still remains. What will Apple do?

Hello! Earth to Jesus Phone… we have a problem!”

Well what about Pocket Gods?

Apple rejects "Me so Holy", here are our thoughts..

Mon, 11 May 2009 00:26:00 -0400

iPhone apps have become a veritable phenomenon, with the Apple store having recently sold its 1 billionth app. But behind the scenes of this major cultural trend, a battle of values seems to being playing out over what users can or cannot view on their own screens.

After releasing Animalizer, we decided to release this app, Me So Holy. However today we received a rejection letter from Apple.

According to Apple, “Me So Holy” contains objectionable content and is in violation of Section 3.3.12 from the iPhone SDK Agreement which states:

“Applications must not contain any obscene, pornographic, offensive or defamatory content or materials of any kind (text, graphics, images, photographs, etc.), or other content or materials that in Apple’s reasonable judgement may be found objectionable by iPhone or iPod touch users.”

You may be familiar with recent snafus over the baby shaker app and the rejection of the Nine Inch Nails apps. Our question is, is religion really to be placed in the same category as these violent apps? Sex, urine and defecation don’t seem to be off-limits, yet a totally non-violent, religion-based app is.

We feel that Apple is being too sensitive to its perceived user group and are disappointed that this otherwise creative, freethinking company would reject such a positive and fun application. The message to developers is that they should think inside the box, rather than outside it.
