Seeing as the first version of Hotdog Down a Hallway has been sitting all comfy in the App Store since release, Metaversal Studios probably didn't see this coming when they updated the rather suggestive game. For reasons you all probably got from the game's name, Apple has pulled the updated version of Hotdog Down a Hallway from the App Store.

Citing "content or materials that in Apple's reasonable judgment may be found objectionable by . . . users," Apple reserved its right to reject the app. The game is basically about launching a hotdog that looks a bit like Homer Simpson down a hallway, avoiding obstacles as it goes. Hotdog Down a Hallway even has Achievements, some of which are described with suggestive slang.

While it's true that there are a lot of apps in the App Store with objectionable content, the hotdog was apparently too objectionable. The first version of the game remains on the Store, so it was probably an update that you won't let granma play.

With all the iPhone compeditors out there today, you'd think Apple wouldn't ***** with all these developers, but I guess they just want the Android to beat the iPhone.
