Sorry Playboy fans, still no porn in the App Store

Earlier today, curious news swept the Web. According to a tweet from Playboy boss Hugh Hefner, the popular men’s magazine will soon land on the iPad — uncensored. The automatic assumption was that Hef was talking about a forthcoming uncensored new version of the Playboy app, which would of course contradict Apple’s current policy against adult content in the App Store. Is Tim Cook already running amok in CEO Steve Jobs’ absence? Not at all. It turns out that Playboy is working on an uncensored Web-based subscription version of its site that will be designed for the iPad’s mobile Safari browser. The Playboy app available in the App Store, however, will remain as censored as ever. In the immortal words of one Steven Paul Jobs: “Folks who want porn can buy [an] Android phone.”

        and if YOU want to be a moron and be told how to run your life on YOUR technology YOU own, then give your money to Crapple and steve “the flamer” Jobs. You must also support Obamacare and all other government takeovers. what a sheep. kill yourself.

    BTW, who says that’s [not] art?

    • CHWDP

      I’ll go ahead and say it’s not art, it’s porn.

        and ur also dumb. Porn is pictures or videos depicting sexual intercourse. The female body by itself has nothing to do with sexual intercourse. you must be a cooky christian or a homosexual. kill yourself also.

    i dont blame apple, imagine yourself being a father of a teen son, would u want him to download porn easily from the app store on his phone/ipod?

    • http://twitter.com/madbadvlad Vladimir Valette

      as opposed to him doing it on his computer just as easily? if kids want to find porn, they will find porn. don’t be so naive and think kids aren’t crafty enough to find work-arounds.

      You mean as opposed to sitting down and talking with him about sex (as his hormones rage out of control) and letting him know that it’s ok to look at naked women….

      • Kurwiarz

        Or that it is not OK.

      would I want my son to be a normal, heterosexual man? yes I would.

    • http://twitter.com/Syk0Matik420 Beefy McBigDick

      in fact, I encourage anything that will promote heterosexuality and normalcy. Hey, if it helps diminish the homosexual population,it cant be bad, right?

    I’m glad. I could care less about pr0n in the App Store. We don’t need it. Plus, playboy is mostly ads now days anyways, who wants to read ads? I don’t.

      while i do agree that playboy sucks, for apple to tell people what they can and cant do on their phone they paid for is fascist

    You see! In all my Android phones and tablets I have tons and tons of good porno material. What else do we Goofans (aka Apple Haters) have in life aside from porno and hating apple??? NOTHING! So it’s liberating to know that Google’s got our back.

  • Befuddled

    Seriously – why does BGR censor this picture while partly chastising Apple for censoring the content in their store?

    LOL. still dont know why people pay money to a company to be told what they can and cannot have on the phone they paid for and own. I love you, Android.

  • http://twitter.com/Syk0Matik420 Beefy McBigDick

    hahaha. I am guessing steve jobs is a homosexual as are most iphone users.

  • http://twitter.com/Syk0Matik420 Beefy McBigDick

    if being naked was wrong, we wouldve been born with a a hoodie and jeans on. Maybe some steel toe boots and a carhartt jacket. apple sucks sooooooo many different sizes of balls

  • KCRic

    Just to spite Apple – I made this girls iPhone vibrate until she got off.

    At least they [iPhones] can do one thing right.

    So that’s why Android has taken over iOS’s marketshare. Thanks for clearing that up Steve.
