Apple, in a bold move, has decided to pull all sexual/porn related applications from the iPhone App Store. No more bouncing breasts, no more sexual innuendoes, and certainly no sex-related games allowed anymore. Could this be in preparations for the iPad, or Apple just trying to clean up their image?

So after my two years in Public Relations came to an end, I got a chance to come work full-time...
