    IF YOU REMOVED THE OTHERS BECAUSE OF SEXUAL CONTENT, THEN IT MAKES SENSE TO REMOVE PLAYBOY ASWELL. SECOND, ITS VERY FOOLISH BECAUSE YOU CAN STILL ACCESS FAR WORST SEXUALY EXPLICIT SITES FROM THE IPHONE BROWSER ITSELF.

    As a parent myself, I can only do so much to limit the exposure my kids have to the inappropriate material. I have to rely on Apple and the other companies to supply parent controls to keep this content at bay. I can't supervise them 100% of the time. I agree that removing this content was a good step. If users want ****, there are other places to get it. Let's keep the app store a notch above the rest.

    well, if you don't want the so called "sexual" apps don't cry to your mom (apple), just don't download them, and to parents: if you kids want to access **** you can NOT prevent it with or without apple's help

    Do you know that Apple donated like thousands and thousands of computer to schools in California when they got big the first time? Steve Jobs wanted to do it nation wide but for a reson I can't remember he/Apple wasn't allowed to do so by the goverment.

    the parents these days are proper nice, telling apple restrict the type of apps containing sexual content. if parents were in control of there kids account in the first place this wouldnt be a issue. dont tell firms to do ur jobs cause i now fr a fact kids don't flaunt credit cards. "wwwooow as a parent thats 1 thing off my head", "bye a iphone so my kids can be intouch with society and apple can stop them frm relating to the twisted out there" buck up an relize ppl are ppl (good an bad, **** and the qwerky etc)

    If Apple and AT&T want everyone in our family to have an iPhone, they should resume the rejection of offensive content in apps. Or, we can just spend our money somewhere else. The iPhone is mobile, and goes with the kid where we cannot watch them. That's the point of a kid having a cell phone--for the parent and child to be able to communicate when they're not together. I can watch my kids at home, and block filth from our TV and computers. Teachers can to some extent keep the filth out of schools. But for Apple to shove it down the kids throats with pornography in the top 25 Apps is too much.

    This is crap. It really is. You can not believe what kids know these days. That's all I have to say. It's sad really.
