Oh geese. When will these washed up rockers realize that 20-30 years later in 2010, no one gives a damn about them. Case in point: John Mellencamp. Say what you will about his glory days, because they are long gone. Recently, 'ol Johnny boy here made a simple, yet very telling statement:

Seriously Apple, WTF?! You reject dictionary apps because little Johnny might search for a naughty word yet you approve apps such as Baby Shaker. Now you've stooped to the ultimate in absolute stupidity and leaves me wondering where you find these morons that run the App Store approval process. Why the flaming?
