Apple Rejects iFart Fart Packs with Parody Names

by admin on November 10, 2009

[UPDATE - Our Movie Fart Pack has now been approved!]

iFart is a big fan of the iTunes store for obvious reasons.

iFart continues to be a big seller and our fans are rabid for our product.  Let’s face it.  iFart is responsible for millions of laughs all over the world!

So we’ve been hard at work on implementation of some great new content.  In fact, we have created three unique fart packs containing original farts all themed for each pack.

We were disappointed to receive this email from Apple’s app reviewers this week…

———–

Thank you for submitting iFart Mobile – #1 Fart Machine UPDATED! 2.20 and its associated In App Purchases to the App Store. We’ve reviewed iFart Mobile – #1 Fart Machine UPDATED! 2.20 and its associated In App Purchases and determined that we cannot post this version of your iPhone application to the App Store because it contains content that ridicules public figures and is in violation of Section  3.3.14 from the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement which states:

“Applications may be rejected if they contain content or materials of any kind (text, graphics, images, photographs, sounds, etc.) that in Apple’s reasonable judgement may be found objectionable, for example, materials that may be considered obscene, pornographic, or defamatory.”

If you believe that you can make the necessary changes so that iFart Mobile – #1 Fart Machine UPDATED! 2.20 does not violate the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement, we encourage you to do so and resubmit it for review.

Regards,

iPhone Developer Program

Bummer, huh?

We’re having to rename our fart packs so that they don’t parody or spoof any celebrities, bands or movie titles.

So for the fart names that will never see the light of day, we thought we’d share them with you as we think they are pretty funny.

  • Van InHalen
  • PU2
  • Huba Stink
  • Fartwood Mac
  • Hot Air Supply
  • Rascal Flatulence
  • Brown Day
  • Black Eyed Squeeze
  • Linkin Fart
  • AeroSniff

    The Movie Fart Pack contained:

  • The Sixth Scent
  • Forrest Dump
  • Top Bun
  • Fart Trek
  • Raging Butt

  • Bum and Bummer
  • Good Will Grunting

    And The Celebrity Fart Pack contained:

  • Lance Airstrong
  • Howard Sterno

    We don’t believe Apple is singling us out as they appear to be applying these same policies to other apps as well.

    It’s just a shame that this kind of parody humor is not allowed in the app store.

    To our fans we say… don’t fret! The same brand new original farts will be available in a fart pack with more “terms & conditionfied” names.

    iTunes sells more music than it does farts. thankfully. the apple law team is too busy to bother with yet more lawsuits from the music artists!

    Although your celebrity parody names are clever, you should be happy with the names you use now because they crack me and my friends up.
