Apple Gets The Joke Late – Rejects Approved App

Did you hear? Major League Baseball is changing their rules. Any time a batter reaches base safely, they receive an extra bag. So now a single becomes a double, doubles become triples, etc.. And get this … a home run counts as a run scored, but the batter gets to circle the bags and start again from first base.

Why did Major League Baseball change this rule? – we dunno. Guess they just changed Funny McCain Picture their mind. Oh well … sucks for you!

Argh! Sorry … forgot to mention this one. You know how Obama is the President of the United States? Well that’s changed too … guess the US Government changed their mind about the voting process. Why the change? – we dunno … but go ahead and welcome John McCain as our new forty fourth President. Oh well … sucks for you!

Here’s another change – this one is from our friends at Apple.

hotdogicon The whacky and hysterical iPhone game, Hot Dog Down A Hallway [iTunes], has been rejected. Huh? How can it be rejected if it’s still available in the App Store? – we dunno … all we know is that the developers of Hot Dog Down A Hallway, Metaversal Studios, submitted an update to Apple and were given a swift kick to their wiener (see what we did there). The update was technical in nature … user gameplay experience, backend stuff, etc. … but their nut shot was due to Explicit Content. Huh? – we dunno … there were no updates to the content of Hot Dog Down A Hallway … so we can only assume the Explicit Content are the  adult innuendos contained within the game and  the title itself … all originally approved by Apple. Oh well … sucks for you Metaversal!

HD1 HD2

HD4

Huh? – we still dunno … we are still totally confused. Game is approved … game is rejected due to Explicit Content found in the original approved version … rejected game still being sold in the App Store. Huh? – we dunno … maybe since Trent Reznor has better luck, he can figure this out and put in a good word to Apple for “Hallway Hot Dog”. Go Trent!

Oh and by the way … we changed our minds too. This site will now enable you to Shave Your Yeti. Uh hold on … we changed our minds again … back to KRAPPS. Oh well … sucks for you!

PS – and of course, we’ll have a complete review of the Hot Dog Down A Hallway app KRAPPS-style within the next several days … wait for it. But don’t wait to buy the app as it might very well get banned – after all, it’s been rejected for Explicit Content. Huh?

    An app that we had approved somehow kept getting denied. We weren't even submitting updates for it, just once a week after it was live we kept getting e-mails that it wasn't approved because of logo infringement or some crap. Not an Apple in the entire program. Whatever, tho.

  • Our update that was approved got rejected because we stated that our Game “G” was 3.0 ready in the “what is new” text, because it is….3.0 ready. Go figure. We resubmitted the update asking for a quick reply since it had already passed the testing. The whole process is a bit odd and don't be surprised if Apple continues to change the rules.

  • It's all very confusing. And it's all hit and miss over there… they are after all approving one application every 4 minutes 24 hours a day. That's it… I'm releasing my Monkey Sh*t Tossing application I might get it to sneak past. Anyone have a cute title to help it sneak in? How about “Monkey See, Monkey Doo Doo”!
