A Gay kiss to Steve Jobs

After my post of May 19, it took still a month before some other blogs took interest in the censorship of "The Importance of Being Earnest" of Oscar Wilde as drawn by Tom Bouden.
Slate and TechCrunch wrote about it as did Steven Fry  and finally Apple gave in:

"We made a mistake. When the art panel edits of  the graphic novel adaptation of Oscar Wilde's Importance of Being Earnest app were brought to our attention, we offered the developers the opportunity to resubmit their original drawings and update their apps."


So let's hope that Apple learned form their mistake and that in the future we can see boys kissing on apps... (IU haven't seen the update by publisher "De Bonte" of the app though...)
NB: The nice thing about this whole affair is of course that now the whole world knows about this great comic!
