App Store visitors were eagerly waiting for the launch of Murderdrome to experience the first feel of  reading comic books on the iPhone and iPod touch. However, to the dismay of many iPhone users, the comic book application was rejected possibly for being too violent to the eyes.

Here is what Apple said about the rejection:

Murderdrome cannot be posted to the App Store because it contains content that does not comply with Community Standards” and “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 judgment may be found objectionable by iPhone or iPod touch users.

The creator of the Comic series is not very happy about the rejection and is inviting readers to comment on the unreasonable rejection of their application. The concept of shunning violent content is questioned as there are violent movies, songs and other things available through iTunes for download.

Oh, coming back to the SDK agreement, Apple has a point too. Let us just confine our discussion to App Store and no the whole iTunes. The uproar and anger in Britain for deploying  Slasher is still fresh in our memories. Maybe Apple also is not willing to bear another uproar so soon.
