This article on Methodshop discusses Apple’s removal of a customer’s masturbation iMix claiming that it is in “poor taste.” I’ll have to agree with Apple on this one. It seems to me that the author was trying to push the limits to see how far they’d let him go.

Music aficionados rejoice! Apple’s iTunes version 4.5 now features online sharing of music playlists, called iMix. Naturally, Apple offers this service in order to promote music sales in their iTunes Music Store. Users can vote on your playlists as you gain instant fame …or notoriety! So after installing iTunes v4.5, I was disappointed to learn what mixes other people were listening to. How much talent does it take to make an iMix called “Bob’s Favorite ’90s Hard Rock Hits” or “Best Radio Alternative Songs?” As if the world needed another “Best of the ’80s” iMix? I’m hardly stretching the truth when I say there is not one good playlist in the entire iMix section. Is the entire planet in a coma? It immediately became my mission to make a good playlist that everyone (besides the Apple censors) could enjoy.
