T-Pain Who? Rap Group, Tanya Morgan, Kills It With MouthOff

Here at KRAPPS, we love unique iPhone-related stories … where folks think outside the box and leverage the iPhone for something truly creative. Take for example the artsy fartsy web site Just iPhone Art which showcases beautiful drawings and paintings created with the iPhone … unique and creative. Or how about the Hell Chicken app … come on, it’s the only rubber chicken app available (unique) and dude was certainly creative concocting this idea. And of course there’s the ultimate in creativity, Smule … the geniuses behind such ridiculously unique apps as Ocarina and I Am T-Pain.

Now check out this really tight video from the musical group Tanya Morgan, performing their  song, “So Damn Down”. What does this have to do with the iPhone … relax, just push play.

 

Wow … talk about “WTF Creativity”! Who would have ever thought of strapping an iPhone to a musician’s face and having an app sing the lyrics? Roy Miles … that’s who … he’s the dude who came up with the idea and directed the video (just curious … where did Roy get those strap-ons). Apparently Roy is a bit of an iDork himself. And naturally, the “So Damn Down” video was the perfect creative outlet for the MouthOff app. If you’re not familiar with MouthOff … you should be. It’s pretty much what you see in the video … a sound-reactive animated mouth the makes you look freaking funny.

MouthOff-Description

MouthOff 1 

MouthOff-Robot-1-FINAL MouthOff is insanely fun (check out the hundreds of hilarious user submitted videos here) and for only 99 cents [iTunes] it’s a freaking steal. A MouthOff Lite version [iTunes] is also available for no money down. Just as an fyi … since robots are quite the rage these days, you might want to consider being a MouthOff Robot this Halloween. For complete build details, check out this Engadget article.

Anyways, we’re super stoked for the folks over at ustwo, the developers of MouthOff. Since being prominently featured in the “So Damn Down” video, with its heavy rotation on MTVu and MTV Jams, ustwo can literally claim … MouthOff ROCKS!

Wipe Your Ass & Smear Shit On Your Friend’s Face – Surprised There’s An App For That?

Hmmm, not quite sure what to make of this next iPhone app. We really don’t have a clever angle or an interesting hook. Guess we’ll just jump right in and take care of business (no pun intended). Oh … maybe a “WTF” is an appropriate lead-in … yeah, we think so.

Ok, so we’re talking about the iWipe app from FJM Studios. Its purpose is twofold …

Wipe your ass with your iPhone

Smear shit all over your friend’s face

iWipe-Title-FINAL

iWipe 1   iWipe 2

Lovely, isn’t it? Good call Mr. App Approver! Not sure which part is worse … the wiping your ass with your iPhone thing or smearing shit all over your friend’s face. Actually, we think there is more to this app than the simple “Wipe & Smear” functionality … but honestly, we were so disturbed with the mental image of smearing krap on someone’s face,
iWipe lost us at “Hello”.

Calvin-Pee-GIF So with any original app making its debut in the App Store (we’re pretty sure iWipe is the only Wipe & Smear app available … at least we hope it is), there tends to be an onslaught of copy-apps. So brace yourself, you know they’re coming … Sexy Bikini Girl Smear – Creepy Zombie Wiper – iWipe T-Pain. And of course the “Take A Leak On Someone’s Head” app … iPiss … is right around the corner.

Love this Steve Jobs quote from yesterday’s 2 billion downloads press release – it really sums up our feelings about the Wipe Shit All Over Your Friends Face app …

"The App Store has reinvented what you can do with a mobile handheld device, and our users are clearly loving it."

LMAO! You funny Steve – you funny!

The Gr(Ass) Is Always Greener

< Pardon us for a moment … we’d like to get all philosophical on you. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt. Sometimes it’s nice to sit back, relax and ponder this thing called “life”. Bear with us  and you might win a FREE app – see end of article for details. >

It’s human nature. Whatever we have, we want something different. Your neighbor gets a new car, a boat, or a new trophy wife and you want one too. It’s in our DNA. We can’t help it.

Sexy-Asian-Babes Perhaps that explains why the U.S. App Store is filled with hundreds of “Asian Hot Chick” apps? Stuff like … Cute Asian Girls – Asian Spice – Sexy Asian Babes (volumes 1-3) – Asian School Girls – Asian Boobs (uh yes, that is the actual name of the app … BOOBS).

If future anthropologists study this era, they will deduce that Americans worshipped scantily clad Asian  iPhone goddesses. And hell … they might be right.

But the folks at No Tie Software tells us something interesting. You see, No Tie has a new set of 4ZONEZ apps (17+ rating) which feature a challenging memory game where the reward is pretty photos and sexy videos, combined with fun banter and sounds. 4ZONEZ apps offer a variety of beautiful women and come in different flavors, so to speak. There are 4ZONEZ … All-American Girls – Bikini Babes – Country Cowgirls – Dirty Dancers – Exotic & Edgy … it’s like the 31 flavors at freaking Baskin Robbins.

4ZONEZ-Icons-Combines

Guess where All-American Girls and Country Cowgirls are selling like hot cakes (or better yet, cold sushi)?

4ZONEZ All American   4ZONEZ Country Cowgirls

Yep, those apps are doing gangbusters in Korea, Hong Kong, China, Philippines, etc. Looks like No Tie Software is performing their own cultural exchange program. What’s your favorite flavor of 4ZONEZ? First 5 viewers tells us in the comments section win the stated 4ZONEZ app (promo code only redeemable in the U.S. App Store. Apple’s rules, not ours).

Corner Office – Payin’ the Cost To Be the Boss

(written by guest author Tim Giron. follow Tim on Twitter @timgiron)

Ah, yes, the corner office. The lair of the Big Cheese, the Prime Kahuna, the HMFIC; you get the picture. But, you might be asking yourself, how can I achieve this lofty goal? How can I secure that corner office, with all of the trappings of success that accompany it? I’m pretty sure that just by asking the question, you are out of the running! You’re better off with more realistic goals, like figuring out who keeps stealing your lunch from the breakroom refrigerator. When you get the urge to set your sights higher, you could just pull out your iPhone and load up Corner Office [iTunes] by Low Brow Software instead.

Corner-Office-Title

Your first mission is to capture a photo of your boss with the iPhone camera. How you do this without having to explain that you will ultimately be defacing their likeness is left up to you and your ninja skillz. Me, I opted for taking a photo of a posted photo of my boss. Way less damaging for the career!

Corner Office 2

Your next mission is to throw things at your faux boss while they berate you with over 100 one liners. There are different phrases depending on whether you have a male or female boss. You start out throwing pies, but if you work really hard, you get to throw other things like bananas or mice (the computer peripheral, not the rodent). It was at this stage that I realized the developers had perfectly captured one element of corporate life: work hard and you might just receive a pointless reward!

Corner-Office-Pie

Corner Office 3

When you’re ready for a mission with some action (but only a little more), there are two game modes to play. In the game Face Time, the boss figure moves around the screen while you try to hit him or her with more pies, earning cash and promotions along the way. In the game You’re Fired, you need to keep a steady flame going by tilting the device while not running out of fuel.

Corner-Office-Mice

By now, you’ve probably accumulated some pictures as mementos of playing the games. Your final mission is to clog up the company’s email system by sharing these with your co-workers. Add a quote bubble with a witty management saying like "Johnson, where’s that monthly TPS report!" and it’s sure to get forwarded around the company, cementing your legendary status as "that guy that got fired for putting the CEOs face on a gorilla and throwing pies at it".

Corner-Office-99

At the time of this writeup, this compendium of office themed activities was priced at $2.99 (originally released at $4.99). A little steep for your average cubicle drone, if you ask me.

Most Offensive App Ever – As Seen In The Wall Street Journal

ATTENTION – Please proceed with extreme caution! We are highlighting an app that is so controversial and offensive that it caused uproar on Twitter, was exposed by The Wall Street Journal and immediately upon release, the developer started receiving hate email. Again, this subject matter is not for the faint of heart … consider yourself warned!

WSJ-Shake-That-Booty

The story goes like this …

Dennis Comeau is a 49-year-old shoe designer. About six months ago, he and his wife started an app development company, Visionaire Design. Peculiarly, Dennis was inspired when he learned about a rejected app called iBoobs (gee, guess what iBoobs does … shake iPhone, see jiggling boobies). He took an approach a bit “south” and focused on ass. Dennis figured if KC And The Sunshine Band enjoyed “Shake Your Booty” success … why can’t he. So Visionaire submitted the Shake That Booty app for approval and was quickly axed by Apple. Girl’s ass in a little bikini simply doesn’t fly with Apple. So Dennis dressed the ass with bigger panties … NOT … again, killed by Apple. Third time’s a charm? Yes of course … a cartoon ass in jeans is all good with Apple.

Shake-That-Booty-Title

For a more intimate experience, see our exclusive Shake That Booty video below. Again … WARNING … it’s extremely offensive (uh, no smartass … we’re not talking about the quality of the video). And don’t worry about turning up your volume for clearer sound, there is none!

 

Sorry … we know … absolutely disgusting! A cartoon butt that gyrates. Definitely not something you’ll see at any high school dance, Shakira music video or clubbing on the weekend. A shaking ass – DA HORROR!

Well little did Denis know, his provocative shaking rear end would cause quite the outrage. Hundreds of iPhone users and bloggers questioning why Apple approved such smut. Heather Lyte (Twitter @shopgadgetgirl) tweeting her dismay to 800+ followers (seriously?). And the ultimate ridicule … reporter Maureen Scarpelli, of The Wall Street Journal, exposing Shake That Booty to a worldwide audience. Oh yeah, not to mention the hate email Dennis started receiving.

Shake-That-Booty-Twitter

Shakira-Booty-FINAL Poor Dennis … what a douche! He thought his Shake That Booty app would fly under the radar, avoiding public scrutiny. Didn’t he realize his undulating Shakira-like backside would be way more offensive than … an app which turns your iPhone into a penis … an app which teaches you how to pleasure a woman … a Peeping Tom app … an app of women touching their breasts and whoo-haw. Gotta give props to The Wall Street Journal for ignoring the various iPhone pornography apps and focusing on the real offensive issue at hand, Shake That Booty … journalism at its finest.

As for you Dennis … shame on you! But please ping us when/if you release the Shake That Rack app … we would like to avoid being scooped by The Wall Street Journal again.

JeePee Madness – Experience Amsterdam For Free

Amsterdam-T-Shirt-FINAL Amsterdam … gotto love it! With a population of 1.36 million, Amsterdam is the capital and largest city of the Netherlands. Home of such attractions as the Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank House, Hermitage and more. But we all know the real reason why tourists flock to Amsterdam … because Vegas just isn’t enough. Mix in a Red-Light District and hundreds of Coffee Shops that oddly, don’t sell coffee … the result can be summed up perfectly by this Amsterdam tourism slogan … “Good Girls Go To Heaven – Bad Girls Go To Amsterdam.”

And you know what else is cool about Amsterdam? … Guppies In The Dark. No, these guppies have nothing to do with wooden shoes, riding bikes, chasing windmills or other popular Amsterdam stereotypes. Guppies In The Dark are developers who are off to a good start, recently introducing their first iPhone app … JeePee.

JeePee-Title

JeePee1 JeePee2 JeePee3

Similar to the Raoul The Dancing Pancake app, JeePee seems to be concocted while in a drug induced state of mind. Makes perfect sense with the whole Amsterdam cannabis coffee shop thing. Ok, this one really requires a visual to fully appreciate … so we’ll shut up now, so you can push play.

See! Told you there were drugs involved! Freaky looking double-jointed white dude, dancing a freaky looking jig to some freaky music. Yes, JeePee totally works … uh, when you’re freaking HIGH!

JeePee exercise   jeepee pappadoea

To the app’s credit, the JeePee dude is programmed very well (come on, like the devs claim … it’s a “highly sophisticated piece of software”) and it won’t cost you a dime (no dime bag pun intended) … it’s free. But like the dark guppies state (just curious, WTH is a dark guppy?), JeePee is completely useless … unless, of course, you’re HIGH. But really … should an iPhone app originating from deep inside an Amsterdam coffee shop be any other way? So in this regard … JeePee is perfect!

Avoid Herpes, Suck Face With Your iPhone (alternatively: I Kissed An iPhone And I Liked It)

funny-pictures-hamster-kiss Man it’s tough being single these days. Besides trying to find that perfect (or even semi-perfect) someone … when you do finally meet them, you gotta worry about things like herpes, chlamydia, gonorrhea or the other heaps of sexually transmitted diseases. Dang, we even heard you can get VD just by sitting on a toilet. What the hell is that?!? Scary krap … not funny at all! So we’re thinking … hmmm, if you can catch something off a freaking toilet seat, no way in hell are we going to risk kissing someone. Who knows what kind of nasties you can get from sucking face … the clap, crabs, drippy dick, etc. Whatever the case may be, we ain’t going there … better to be safe than sorry. No rotten crotch for us, thank you very much!

And you know, this whole non-kissing stuff? – it’s all good. No worries … we don’t miss it. Why should we? We get plenty of lip lock action thanks to our trusty iPhone 3GS (the “S” stands for “SEXY”). Damn straight we do! We da playa … da pimp mac daddy … we score  whenever and wherever we like. Meet our two hook up hotties, Noriko and Chloe (who apparently is a quarter Greek-Japanese, whatever the hell that means, new math?) …

KISSCOMI-Prologue-title Chloes-KISSCOMI-title

So as you can see by our girls’ bios, they are a bit different in flavor. Noriko appreciates a bit of foreplay. She needs to be touched a little – to warm things up. And you gotta be careful with Noriko … if you don’t kiss her just the way she likes, well, she gets pissed at you and calls you out as a lousy kisser … crazy bitch!

kisscomi prologue 1   kisscomi prologue 3

Now Chloe on the other hand, is all about action … and she ain’t shy about it. She’ll tell you straight up – “I like kisses, I want much” … yeah baby! Hell, she even gives you a prize if you satisfy her … how cool is that?!?

chloes kisscomi 1 chloes kisscomi 2 chloes kisscomi 3

Anyways, like we said, we da pimp mac daddy and can score with Chloe or crazy bitch Noriko any time we want … that’s how we roll, we’re pros like that. But we weren’t always this awesome. There was a time … when we were still young grasshoppers … we were  very awkward and painfully shy towards iPhone chicks. But what saved our sorry ass was this ultimate kissing trainer … the Sasamekisscomi app.

sasamekisscomi-titleFINAL

sasamekisscomi-screen-1   sasamekisscomi-screen-2FINA

Hmmm …. so you probably noticed the whole “special mask” the teacher wears during the kissing lesson. Yeah, it was kind of weird at first, but then you get used to it. But take a close look and admit it … that is one sexy fine mask. Heck, after your fifth lesson, you hardly notice it at all. And can you blame her? Who knows what kind of a disease she might catch swapping spit with her loser students. Like we said … it’s better to be safe than sorry. Kiss your iPhone … you just might like it!
