Our Tiger Woods iPhone App is Rejected Again

I just got a call from Apple, confirming that they will again be rejecting our resubmitted Tiger Woods Cartoons app. A few of the Tiger Woods cartoons are shown below.

There were some comments on the web that suggested that Apple had changed their policy regarding “ridiculing public figures” in regard to editorial cartoon apps, leading us to resubmit the app. Not so.

Celebrities are the fodder for most popular cartoon topics, so the ban on ridiculing public figures puts a crimp into our iPhone plans. Apple’s ban on ads from Microsoft is also a hurdle for us, since we were planning on running ads from Microsoft - after all, we make the msnbc.com cartoons apps; we love Microsoft and MSN.com.

We have tens of thousands of great users of our msnbc.com Cartoons apps for the iPhone and iPad, but we’re going to need to rethink our iPhone strategy. Read more about our rejected Tiger Woods app in my April 24th post.

Daryl,
I’m honestly not that surprised that Apple can’t adapt. They’re the big fish now, powerful, but slow. The fact that they basically said “resubmit, we’re sorry, we didn’t realize we were excluding legitimate political cartoonists” but repeated with more of the same is pretty troubling though.

My advice: Google’s Droid.
