Ok ok I’ve been critical of the AppStore latelly but I have one more in me.  I feel like I’m able to judge the start of the downfall of society based on recent AppStore submissions and approvals.  I mean how many Fart applications do we need, iFart, uFart, iFartz, iToot?  I really like having all of the applications for my phone in one place but I guess there is a downside of having ALL of the applications in one place and it’s that all the crappy ones are in one place also.  The term Idiocracy comes from a Mike Judge movie that is worth checking out.  It’s a decent social commentary on where society is going in the next 500 years ro so.  From the IMDB blurb:

Private Joe Bauers, the definition of “average American”, is selected by the Pentagon to be the guinea pig for a top-secret hibernation program. Forgotten, he awakes 500 years in the future. He discovers a society so incredibly dumbed-down that he’s easily the most intelligent person alive.

It certainly feels like the dumbing down of society is happening when a great percentage of applications being written for the iPhone are are flatulence related.  Maybe this is all due to the backlog of applications that couldn’t be approved until the rating system was done but lets hope this constipation of bowel related applications ends soon and we get things moving on to more useful things.

I’m all for toilet humor, it’s funny every time but just seems to be an overload of duplicated apps rolling in at the moment.
