Why Apple Must Abandon Its War on Sexy – Apple – Gawker
Feb 24th

Apple has been trying to keep scantily-clad women out of the iPhone app store. It’s a hypocritical crackdown, with apps from Playboy and Sports Illustrated given a free pass. And it’s going to ruin the iPad for magazine content.
Apple’s ongoing war on porn gets some notice in the New York Times today, with the paper pointing out that Apple has banned apps like Dirty Fingers, where a woman in a bikini “cleans” your iPhone screen, while allowing an app for SI’s annual swimsuit issue, and one from soft-core monthly Playboy. Here’s how Apple VP Phil Schiller tried to justify this double standard:
Mr. Schiller said Apple took the source and intent of an app into consideration. “The difference is this is a well-known company with previously published material available broadly in a well-accepted format,” he said.

There are some pretty unusual sports in the Olympics — skeleton, anyone? — so it’s understandable that some fringe athletes would think their particular talent deserving of inclusion, too. But “sport” isn’t generally the first word that come to mind when one thinks of pole dancing — and the words that do? Well, they aren’t super family-friendly.
Nonetheless, a petition is circulating to get the discipline into the Olympics and it’s already netted roughly 4,000 signatures. Much as this might seem like a sexy publicity stunt (not that pole dancing really needs the added attention) the organizers behind the push appear incredibly earnest. Ania Przeplasko, founder of the International Pole Dancing Fitness Association, told the Associated Press: “There will be a day when the Olympics see pole dancing as a sport. The Olympic community needs to acknowledge the number of people doing pole fitness now. We’re shooting for 2012.”

Reports: 5,000 ‘overtly sexual’ iPhone apps purged | Apple – CNET News
Feb 22nd

Late last week, Apple notified developer Chillifresh that its Wobble iBoobs application was being removed from the App Store due to its “overtly sexual” nature. Since then, it appears that Apple has gone on a rampage of sex-oriented app removals.
(Credit: Playboy)
Chillifresh claimed in a Saturday post that a discussion with Apple revealed that more than 5,000 apps have been affected by its new App Store content policy. Apple said the change was triggered by numerous customer complaints, according to Chillifresh.
“Whenever we receive customer complaints about objectionable content we review them,” Apple's Trudy Muller later told CNET. “If we find these apps contain inappropriate material we remove them and request the developer make any necessary changes in order to be distributed by Apple.”

Why Apple’s Porn Purge is a Smart Move – PCWorld

Jeff Bertolucci, PC World
Feb 20, 2010 4:14 pm
It appears Apple is embarking on a new anti-smut crusade to rid its iPhone App Store of “overtly sexual content.” According to news reports, the targets of Apple’s ire include relatively tame adult fare, many of which manage to incorporate the word “boob” into their titles.
Apple’s actions are designed to appease customers who’ve complained in the company’s support forums and elsewhere about adult content in the App Store. According to Information Week, Apple developers have also griped about the sex-themed apps, which they say are proliferating in some App Store categories and making other apps harder to find.
At first glance, Apple’s move appears either prudish or hypocritical or both. Sexually-explicit content was already verboten in the App Store, and some of the newly banned apps were about as racy as the Sport Illustrated swimsuit issue.

Apple Reportedly Bans Overtly Sexual iPhone Apps – PCWorld

Apple reportedly has a new policy for its iPhone app store in which any application with “overtly sexual content” will be removed from the App Store, according to an e-mail obtained by TechCrunch. But just like countless previous times, this latest tweak to Apple’s app rejection policy will have app developers scratching their heads trying to figure out what’s going on.
Wobbly Policy
One app that has been removed from iTunes, called Wobble iBoobs, lets you take a selected image of a bikini model, add “wobble zones” to the photo, and then make those parts of the image move when you shake your iPhone. This app’s function was apparently a little too hot for Apple, so the app’s developer, Jon Atherton, received a removal notice from Apple, according to TechCrunch.
Referring to the Wobble iBoobs application, Apple reportedly wrote, ” We have recently received numerous complaints from our customers about this type of content and have changed our guidelines appropriately. We have decided to remove any overtly sexual content from the App Store, which includes your application.”

Digital Playground’s “Teachers” Trailer

Give “sexy” figure skaters a break – Salon
Feb 19th
- Image via Wikipedia
In an article that appeared Wednesday in Slate, Hanna Rosin examines the fraught world of sexuality for female athletes. Her central comparison is between skier Lindsey Vonn, who recently posed for Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, and “pixie” figure skaters “whose notion of sexy involves sparkly outfits and blue eye shadow.” Among other conclusions, Rosin declares that, for women, the trope “assigned to skiers (female gladiator) is far preferable to the one assigned to skaters (tragic nymph).”
But throughout the article are a number of arguments that left me wondering who ran over Rosin’s foot with a 1/8-inch blade and left her with a grudge against skaters. After saying that at least Vonn’s sexuality is preferable to that of the figure skaters, she writes, “Watching pairs skating these last few nights has reminded me of what the figure skating narrative is all about: tender young fawns gliding to maudlin music, getting thrown around, and landing on frail ankles. The vibe is more Virgin Suicides than professional sports and is thus, from the teach-your-daughters point of view, problematic.”
I don’t have a daughter to teach, but here are a few lessons I think the young figure skaters could impart: grace under pressure, dedication to a goal (in an increasingly instant-gratification world), the power of dreaming big, and that beauty, femininity and physical strength aren’t mutually exclusive. Also, though Rosin is speaking to the narrative and not the facts, saying that the skaters are “getting thrown around” is downright offensive to these athletes, who have crazy muscle control and power, not to mention a risk-taking spirit. Plus, that description doesn’t hold up in individual skating, where the women are clearly their own driving force for those whiplash jumps.

XRCO announces 26th Annual Awards Show hosts
Feb 17th
(News release: HOLLYWOOD, CA ) – The X-Rated Critics Organization is proud to announce its host and hostesses for the 2010 XRCO Awards. Adult entertainment superstars Nikki Benz and Lisa Ann will join the legendary Sean Michaels on stage at the Highlands Nightclub in Hollywood on April 29th to host the gala event.
“I am so honored to be chosen as one of the hostesses,” says Nikki. “On a night where the top journalists in our industry honor the very best, I get to be right in the middle of it!”
The addition of Sean Michaels puts a living legend on stage between two beautiful women, a position he surely will not mind. “Sean Michaels is a true legend in this business. He’s incredibly poised, suave, and well-spoken and we look forward to seeing him host the XRCO Awards,” says Karen Stagliano of Evil Angel. “Evil Angel’s Buttman Magazine Choice is thrilled to be his distributor.”
“XRCO was the first event I ever attended in the Industry, to now be hosting; momentous!” exclaims an excited Lisa Ann. “Getting to do anything with Nikki Benz is totally awesome and Sean Michaels will make us look so amazing! See you there!!!”
This years show marks the 26th XRCO Awards and organizers knew that they had to do something spectacular to top last year’s silver anniversary show.
“Last year’s show was a huge success,” says XRCO’s Dirty Bob. “We knew we needed something special to kick off our next twenty five years. What better way to do it than to invite two of the industry’s leading ladies in Nikki Benz and Lisa Ann and have them flank one of the biggest, in more ways than one, male performers; XRCO Hall of Famer Sean Michaels?”
Industry and press are invited to join Nikki Benz, Lisa Ann & Sean Michaels for the 26th Annual XRCO Award Show on April 29th at the Highlands in Hollywood.
Founded in 1984, the XRCO was formed to give writers and editors from the adult entertainment industry a voice in selecting the best in and brightest in the world of adult cinema. Original members included a small group of writers from Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia. Over the years, select and qualified membership has expanded to include some of the best adult reviewers from both print and internet. In 2005, the XRCO welcomed its first European members. 2009 marked a quarter century of excellence with the XRCO’s Silver Anniversary.
ABOUT NIKKI BENZ:
Arguably the most famous Canadian adult film star ever, Nikki Benz has parlayed her good looks, stunning curves, natural talent, work ethic and keen business sense into a highly successful career. She has starred in over 100 adult films, graced the pages of virtually every men’s magazine on the planet, becoming a Penthouse Cover Girl and Hustler Honey. Nikki has achieved crossover success with mainstream projects, including a recurring character on FOXSports.com
’s hit web series “Cubed.” Nikki is currently hard at work producing exclusive content for her re-launched web site www.NikkiBenz.com
. She also tours the world entertaining her legions of fans with dance engagements and celebrity appearances.
ABOUT LISA ANN:
Lisa Ann has had two tremendously successful careers in the adult entertainment industry while most women would be happy to have just one. Returning to adult, Lisa Ann found huge success with the hugely popular “Nailin Palin” series and “Interactive Sex with Lisa Ann” among dozens of others. Lisa has also enjoyed crossover success with appearances on HBO, MTV, VH1 and in Eminem’s video for “We Made You.” Beyond her career in front of the camera Lisa Ann runs a highly successful talent agency, Lisa Ann Talent Management.
Sean Michaels is a larger than life figure and for over two decades has been one of the most sought after leading men in the industry. He has starred or appeared in over 2000 movies and has directed more than 200 others – including, most recently, titles for Buttman Magazine Choice. Elected to the XRCO Hall of Fame in 2009, Sean is truly a living legend in the adult industry and one of the coolest guys around.
