There should be limits on what we can access 24/7. If you want to look at porn, that's fine. But it's something that should be done in the privacy of one's own home, in which case I'd assume that the iphone wouldn't be the device of choice.

Having an app like "hottest girls" is kind of a bizarre novelty anyway. I just think this sort of thing exceeds what the app store was meant to be.

You can access any kind of porn imaginable from your iPhone, in public or private, whether it's an app or a website, so what's the big deal? It's gonna happen anyway. BUT, if you're crude enough to access and view it while in a public place where anyone can catch a glimpse, shame on you!
