What's really sad is that the legions of mouthbreathers who ranted about this will now be certain that their voices made a difference, and they won't shut the hell up and go away.

I don't think it's "wrong" either, Kick. But parental controls or not, it's not good publicity for Apple, and it doesn't reflect well on the iPhone as a tool for business.

Seeing the ignorance and sheer willful stupidity that erupted over the CNN blurb, I think you're right. Avg IQ = 100 indeed.

Nobody wants to wade through dozens of porn apps to find an app they want.

Nope, which is why you set it to <NC-17 for yourself too.

Plus, purchasing a porn app? As Paul pointed out, couldn't you just get the same photos (probably the exact same photos - at $2/pop, I doubt the developers funded their own shoot...) for free anyways? Even if you didn't want to have to download naughty JPEGs over EDGE or GPRS you could just sync them from iPhoto on your computer and then you'd always have them in your, uh, pants.
