Apple labeled the "Me So Holy" app "objectionable" for letting users put their photos on the images of religious figures.   (MeSoHoly)

Apple has rejected an iPhone application that lets users put their faces on images of Jesus and other religious figures, Wired reports. The company—crucified in the press last month for approving the "Baby Shaker" app—told the makers of "Me So Holy" that the app contained objectionable content, a charge they firmly deny.

We "are disappointed that this otherwise creative, freethinking company would reject such a positive and fun application,” wrote one of the developers, who also made the popular "Animalizer" app. "The message to developers is that they should think inside the box, rather than outside it.” (More iPhone apps stories.)
