So there's this great new app on the iPhone that I'm sure Bilerico readers cannot live without... It's called "Peekaboo->-bleeped-<-." Now what does this wonderful can't-live-without-it app do? You take a picture with it and -- wait for it -- it adds a "->-bleeped-<-" into your picture. Get it? She's playing "peekaboo!" in your picture.

Seriously though, not only is the whole premise offensive - especially the name - but Apple is notorious for being prudish about the apps it approves for sale in its App Store. This one made it through the process but a dictionary was blocked temporarily for including definitions for curse words and they still mark most LGBT apps as "contain age-restricted material" that requires you to put in your password to "prove" you're over the age of 17.
