Apple approves an official "prostitution friendly" app by SugarSugar, a sugar daddy/sugar baby website. What's next? Eros? TER? ECCIE? Agency-driven scheduling apps?
I guess maybe they are feeling the competition from Andriod phones and feel the need to tap into the adult market. Kind of reminds me when Blu ray "endorsed" the porn industry and HD DVD went by the wayside shortly thereafter.....
I'll bet it never makes it to the app store. From the article:
"We don't really know how on earth the app slipped through the App Store approval process. After all, there are several Apple "guidelines" which should've prevented it from getting a seal of approval."
My guess is that some lower-level employee screened and approved it without really understanding what it was all about. It wouldn't be the first time. There will be a hue and cry from the "family-values" types, Apple will backtrack, and approval will be pulled before the June 1 date that the app is supposed to debut.
The way the article tries to define a sugar relationship (outright prostitution) does make it illegal.
I've had girlfriends that I ended up covering their tuition, rent, and/or car note without meeting them through a site. Never did the words sugar baby or sugar daddy ever come up. If I invite a GF to move in with me, rent free, is that a sugar baby? I'd like to see them define that as prostitution.
I downloaded a Kama Sutra app for my iPad recently. It even has a section where you can keep a tally on which one's you've accomplished and how many times. There a position called "Prison Guard" that's pretty hot. Although I don't think it was called "Prison Guard" in the original Kama Sutra writings.
