Comments on: Apple rejects 'Jesus Face' iPhone app

Me So Holy, an app that allows you to substitute Jesus' face with your own, falls foul of Apple's taste requirements.

Censorship is wrong. I don't have an iPhone or iPod because I refuse to have my life controlled by Apple.

It is a tasteless and potentially offensive application, but people should still have the right to publish and download it.

I think this is about Apple not wanting to have to replace plate glass windows at their stores. This app allows you to put your face in a number of religious figures. We all saw want happened when a Dutch guy drew some cartoons.

Apple saw where is was headed and didn't want the headache.

Jesus uses a Blackberry NOT an iPhone! ...It's NOT the silver iPhone Judas Iscariot model that automatically reports to P. Pilate.

P. Pilate traded in his Palm Pilate for it!

Sounds liek an app troll to me; good think Apple cut them out. The title is a twist on a caricatural Asian pornstar's cliched "me so *****", is not religious at all (asserting that you believe yourself to be the equal of God isn't religion, it is ignorance of religion), and just seems to me like an attempt by some troll at getting his 15 minutes of glory. He got it. Next.

It's obviously offensive, so I'm glad they omitted the app. Anyone who doesn't understand why taking the name of Christ, who is God, so trivially and in such a disrespectful manner need to stop reading Dawkins and Hitchens and pray for some commonsense. Me so holy is a spin off I believe from the song "Me so horn*y", and that songs name came from elsewhere perhaps, but wherever the saying came from it was MEANT to be offensive and that's obvious.

This is just creepy. I'm glad they rejected it so we don't have to hear anything more on the subject. Whoever the brainchild was for this app, I wonder what he/she was smokin'. Who did they think it would appeal to?
