iPhone whoopee cushion gone with the wind
In a move that is sure to cost the company in the 9-16 year-old male demographic, Apple rejected an iPhone app called "pull my finger" from the iTunes store.
No, Pull My Finger isn't not a clever name for a reminder tool or a comedy-themed game, it's an actual description of the app. You slide your finger along one of 18 images on the iPhone to trigger any number of fart sounds.
As it turns out, Apple has a rule against selling what it deems to be goofy, useless stuff on the App Store, and Pull My Finger was rejected.
The person making the decision has obviously never felt the need to free up a bus seat.
The app's creator is hoping that the video will garner enough support for lobby Apple to reinstate Pull My Finger.
I would love to see this in apps store. I think it's a funny idea. I know it would do well if Apple allowed you to sell it.

I'd certainly purchase this proggie if knew who the developer was and where to get it.
I disagree with the iTunes store comment. There is always a need for foolish, silly, absolutely useless apps.
This would be a good silly addition to the iPhone or any other "smart phone" that runs 3rd party apps. lol
Like, all we are is dust in the wind, dude.... ummm minus the dust and adding more wind, in this case.
