Videos We Digg
In case you missed it yesterday, a couple of pretty entertaining iPhone videos were released at College Humor and The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW).
College Humor’s “Cell Phone Reunion” finds the iPhone at a reunion, basically poking fun at all other cell phones and making an ass out of himself.
TUAW ran a feature similar to our The Toothless One Speaks article where we honored the first 48 fart apps. There are now over 60 fart apps since we ran our story and TUAW gives an updated look at these various fart options, including a fart medley video.
BurnBall Contest Results
Last week, in our BurnBall anti-KRAPPS article, we announced a photo contest in which viewers submitted an image to the BurnBall Facebook Page with the following phrase: “I found BurnBall on KRAPPS.com”. Over the weekend, a panel of 17 celebrity judges (BurnBall Roy, Fake Steve Jobs, etc.) determined the winners.
Contest prizes include BurnBall download codes for the top 3 entries and a KRAPPS t-shirt to the overall winner. Well after seeing all the entries, the BurnBall developer (Tim Haines), being the good guy he is, decided to award all contestants free BurnBall download codes … even if the celebrity judges thought your entry sucked. BIG THANKS to Tim Haines for his generosity! If you haven’t purchased a copy of BurnBall … Do It Now … it’s an awesome game, 100% anti-KRAPPS certified and you’ll be supporting Tim Haines (aka “A Good Guy”). Also, be sure to become a fan on the BurnBall Facebook Page where Tim runs other promotions, giveaways and competitions.
Ok … enough jabbering … here are the winners of the BurnBall KRAPPS Photo Contest:
1st Place goes to Tim Giron and his awesome impression of the BurnBall Roy character
2nd Place goes to Brandon Andrew and his creepy Burger King inspired entry
3rd Place goes to Jake Mates taking the graphic design approach
Runners Up include Keith and Arthur McTaggart’s computer screen
Thanks to all those who participated … everyone receives a free copy of BurnBall!

More Boobies
We never thought it would become a habit to write about iPhone boobs, but we call ‘em like we see ‘em. As reported yesterday’s Boobies, Farts & Flashlights article, an iPhone breast jiggling simulator was released … Wobble.
Similar to the deluge of fart apps, another boobie app has appeared … iJiggles. Is this a sign of things to come? Like farts, will boobies be the new flavor of the month and flood the App Store? Who knows … but I find it very clever that developers positioned these apps as “photo distortion software” in efforts to circumvent Apple’s acceptance guidelines. But come on … we all know that boys will be boys and there really is only one use for Wobble and iJiggles … bouncing boobs.
Also interesting are the two versions of iJiggles screenshots … the G-rated cute baby version … and the PG-13 girl hold watermelons version.
Special thanks to YouTube member eugene4023 for informing us of his demonstration videos below … when watching, remember … boys will be boys.
Boobies, Farts & Flashlights
January 16, 2009 was an interesting day in “App Land”. Two significant events took place that had app geeks buzzing … and could you really blame us app geeks for getting all hot and bothered? Come on – we’re talking about BOOBIES & FARTS – oh yeah, flashlights too.
BOOBIES
Recently an application called iBoobs was rejected by Apple on the grounds of “objectionable content”. This app allows users to jiggle a pair of women’s breasts. Click here for a demonstration on YouTube (it’s actually rather boring). The rejection was no surprise. The real surprise was the launch of Wobble. Reading the app’s description, Wobble is innocent enough:
Wobble is the only application that can make ANY part of your photo wobble like jelly. Bring photos to life and make parts of them bounce in realistic 3D.
Hmmm – ok – interesting. But of course sex sells and the developers know it, thus the demonstration video below (this one is actually not so boring):
FARTS & FLASHLIGHTS
Tweetie is a full-featured iPhone Twitter client. It’s a solid app that is 100% anti-KRAPPS Certified. So why are we spotlighting Tweetie? Well, Tweetie received an update … an extensive update: instapaper integration, landscape keyboard, link to StockTwits, ability to email @ or direct messages (which is really cool) and more. One of the subtle improvements (I use the term loosely) is the Popularity EnhancEr (PEE) – which means that in addition to a full-featured Twitter client, Tweetie is now a FART app, as well as a flashlight app … talk about value-added! Click here to read the developer’s explanation of PEE and why they decided to integrate Tweetie with fart and flashlight functionality (it’s actually a very funny read).
Yeah, pretty big deal as this is the first time fart functionality lingered (no pun intended) into a non-fart dedicated app … oh and almost forgot – flashlight too … gives a whole new meaning to “lighting one up”. Well this Tweetie PEE will probably blow up sales and race to the #1 spot – thus encouraging copy apps. I can see Shazam PEE, not only will Shazam recognize music, but correctly identify farts – kazoo, ripper, wet one, etc. Makes sense that the Zippo Lighter app should ignite farts. And of course the Air Sharing file storage app is just a no-brainer for a fart upgrade.
Ringr Roulette Now FREE
Just a quick heads-up for our KRAPPS viewers. Remember our friend Twisted John and his Ringr Roulette app … the one that encourages you rather than prevents you from drunk dialing – so even if you are totally plastered and unable to push buttons, just shake your iPhone to dial a number. Well Twisted John has decided to offer Ringr Roulette for FREE through Monday morning, Jan. 19. So if you missed our Ringr Roulette giveaway, immediately job on this twisted iPhone app now!
