Few adults hold a lower opinion of bookstores, cable-operators, and movie-theaters that include among their range of offerings some things that a diametrically opposed to their personal political/religious/social standards.
Uh... this is wildly untrue. You don't find XXX movies at mainstream theaters or Barely Legal magazine at Barnes and Noble. Likewise you'd be hard pressed to find your typical college-educated liberal at a christian bookstore.
- gojomo 17y agoThat there are a few things major chains avoid doesn't invalidate the fact they carry many things opposed to the tastes of most of their customers. You will find books, magazines, and movies with nudity and sex at Barnes and Noble -- far moreso than allowed under current App Store standards. Also, to the point of the original app rejection, you will find plenty of material that mocks all sides of the political spectrum. A countdown to Obama's inauguration with a negative caricature of Bush is mild compared to what you can find in bookstores, cable-channels, and theaters. Those outlets carry such material without their customers getting offended by their mere availability.
