Mussolini iPhone application is withdrawn
Found on BBC News on Tuesday, 02 February 2010
IMussolini, as the application is known, has become the most popular iPhone download in Italy.
It has even beaten video games based on the current film sensation Avatar.
Luigi Marino, who developed iMussolini, said he took it down after legal threats. But he says he intends to put it back on when the matter is cleared up.
People shouldn't threaten Marino, but think about the reason for the success. If everybody would be as digusted as those who speak out against it, that application would have never reached the popularity it has now. Appearantly, the puplic opinion differs a bit from what officials think. Also, it's a bit of a surprise that censor-happy Apple doesn't care about this one although it bans others for reasons like fart jokes and browsers giving access to smut.
