The Podcaster (App Store) Scandal

My quick two cents on the recent Podcaster App Store Rejection:

The approver just got the reason wrong.  The reason “Pull My Finger” was rejected wasn’t “limited utility”, it was because it was obscene.  Limited utility is probably just the first reason the approver came across in the “rejected reason” dropdown list.

Why would I think that?  To start with, there wouldn’t be 20 flashlight and 20 tip calculators.  My own application, NameTag, would most certainly not have been accepted.  I’d wager to say it’s one of the most useless applications in the entire store!

My money is on the approver just choosing the wrong reason.  Has anyone tried the application yet?  Is there something wrong with it?  Or is everyone up in arms because of a simple mistake.
