Confused... Apple sez no, no to 3rd party apps that might show nudes but its OK to view via Safari? Also as someone mentioned...Flickr and Tumblr. Odd logic.
Got a tip for us?

You were born nude. Nudity is not offensive. How you interact with it may be . . . .

If I were Apple, I'd be more embarrassed to display my hangups in public than nude bodies! This is like the "OMG a naked person!" mentality that some teenagers have. It's prurient in and of itself to scandalize nudity or require carefully placed pasties or whatever. You make something sexual by insisting it be censored or covered. And you make it sexual in a less healthful way than more "natural" sexuality. What is wrong with nudity? Nudity in and of itself is not only sexual, but we think of it as such in our culture. Not that there's anything wrong with sexuality, either.
If it's not covered in aluminium, it's not art.
Also, I just looked up Playboy in the app store. For some reason, one of the pics they have showing off the app is a shot of a giant hamburger. No areolas though.
...I'm still trying to figure out what this means.
So a nude picture is bad, but the NRA App is OK? Go figure!

I thought, they removed RSS feeds from Safari 6. Not?Yeah, this is the problem when you apply the "But the app can show nude photos!" mentality. You can easily get Flipboard full of nudity too. Just subscribe to RSS feeds with nudity. Oh no, it actually supports doing this?! How horrible...
