Farts and periods, Apple finally reaches the bottom of the barrel

Well I wrote a post almost a year ago entitled
Will iPhone become the junkyard for Facebooks failed voice applications
At the time we hadn’t even seen the app store but over the past week I am convinced I was on the right track
Christmas week saw huge sales of a fart application which whilst funny is not what I would have expected to make it through the app store regulations.
iamaman
Released today is an app that allows your to track your multiple partners menstrual cycles
Are you fucking kidding me Apple?
Seriously this app is a bridge too far
See for yourself
“I am a Man” will help you with your private life planning. You will know about your girlfriend’s period and her mood. You can plan your dates, evening and save some money.

But it’s not all!

You can add several girls.(Really how fucking wonderfully 21st century Apple, what a shitty deceptive little app this is) The program helps to avoid misunderstandings and preserve your relationship. Even if your girlfriend accidentally bumps into this application and makes you enter the password – she will be the only one to appear on the list, because “I am a Man” program implies personal passwords for each girl!

Features:

* Trace your girlfriend’s periods
* Trace your girlfriends periods
* Set a master password for the whole program
* Set personal passwords for every girl
* Make calls by simply tapping on her name

    I think that this is pretty bad, but i mean, i think apple will hit rock bottom when they start allowing porn on the iPhone. Porn is profitable, and if they were getting a cut it would be a good business move. I am glad, however, that they have not allowed this to happen because i think although this app isn’t good, its still something that wont contribute to a kids’ delinquency.

    so apples market is now cheating scumbags, delightful. things that make fart sounds were funny when I was 10. I’ve also noticed in work a lot of kids with iPod Touchs and iPhones (flippin 14 year olds!)

    so obviously some of apples market is kids and cheating partners. classy

    Coming soon! A app that turns your touch screen into a button to make women shut up! Also comes with features such as “Where’s my Dinner?” and “Did ya not clean that yet? Ah jaysus woman!”.
    You have to understand that people bought that millionaire app, the one that cost a grand and did nothing pretty much.

    Horrible

    Pat:

    The second app amuses me particularly.

    Only 13% of women are estimated to have the text book 28-day cycle and the others find them varying considerably. With their busy lives and without the aid of a calendar, many women may find it hard to track their own cycles.

    It must be a genius of a man who knows reliable data about each of his many partners which can go into this little application. No wonder so many women are clamouring to sleep with him!

    Perhaps the application developer will next write an ‘STD alert application’?

    On the other hand, look at the bright side, Pat. If only we could tap in an alternative way the smarts of the hormonal teenage boy(s) who are writing such apps and those who are approving them for inclusion in iTunes store …

    Has to be the sleaziest app I’ve ever heard of. I’m not even going to install it to play around.

    It’s indicative of the type of people that buy iphones. /me runs and hides now…

    I understand why people have these negative opinions about the “I am a Man” application. However, I think this application will be viewed differently by people from different cultures and backgrounds.

    Actually, I think that I will write my own post about this later in the week!

    This is actually just embarrassing and kinda revolting really. It’s like sub-Viz humour. And it’s indicative of something I’ve been thinking about for the last few weeks. I’m starting to wonder if Apple have well and truly jumped the shark. Farts and Periods are not quite what you’d expect from Infinite Loop. This whole thing is a little bit too Loaded magazine-esque for my liking. Mind you, I still like my iPhone. I do think this year will ultimately be Android’s.
