Apple says the application that allows iPhone users to change Jesus' face into their own goes too far.
Apple rejected an iPhone application that would allow people to put their own image on Jesus' face. The Me So Holy app would enable someone to take a mug shot and crop it to replace Jesus' face. Apple said no to the app, saying it "contains objectionable material," according to Wired.
"Applications must not contain any obscene, pornographic, offensive or defamatory content or materials of any kind (text, graphics, images, photographs, etc.), or other content or materials that in Apple's reasonable judgement may be found objectionable by iPhone or iPod touch users," the iPhone SDK agreement states.
Apple may be tightening its restrictions on its iPhone App Store after it approved an iPhone app called Baby Shaker, a game whose objective was to shake a baby to death. Amid parental outrage, Apple subsequently removed the app, saying its approval was a mistake.

I am glad that they did this. I would not want a Picture of Ted Bundy or Charles Manson to be seen there! Yikes!

I would not want my OWN face in any way taking the place of Jesus. He is the only holy one.

I totally agree with Apple. Jesus is way too sacred to be used like this. Imagine how some people would have used this.
