Trent Reznor calmly and rationally expresses his F@$#% frustrations

May 4th, 2009

This makes me smile. Wired is reporting that Nine Inch Nails front man and creative entrepreneur Trent Reznor created an iPhone app that Apple rejected. Reznor, not known for being shy and politically correct, let Apple know he was pissed by posting on the NIN message board. He feels his app was rejected because a song you could stream through the app contained one curse word. Here are some (non kid-friendly) snippets of his post that Wired has put together:

“‘The Downward Spiral,’ the album, is not available anywhere in the iPhone app,” wrote Reznor. “The song ‘The Downward Spiral’ I believe is in a podcast that can be streamed to the app,” he continued. “Thanks, Apple, for the clear description of the problem — as in, what do you want us to change to get past your stupid fucking standards?”

“You can buy ‘The Downward Fucking Spiral’ on iTunes,” he continued, “but you can’t allow an iPhone app that may have a song with a bad word somewhere in it … Hey Apple, I just got some spam about fucking hot Asian teens through your e-mail program. I just saw two guys having explicit anal sex right there in Safari! On my iPhone! Come on Apple, think your policies through and for fuck’s sake get your app approval scenario together.”

We’ve reported in the past that Apple’s approval process can be confusing, and that developers are demanding better explanations of why their apps are rejected so they can fix them. It’s only a matter of time until this situation boils over, and Trent Reznor could be the one person who can blow the lid off.
