Apple has reversed its decision to ban the Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist Mark Fiore's iPhone app.

Jobs' Mob pulled the application because it did not like the fact that he took the piss out of people. In Apple's Disneyland app store no-one takes the mickey out of any one and only farting applications are considered funny. However someone seems to have pointed out that once you get the Pulitzer Prize it means that you really are funny because you are famous. So Steve Jobs has let Fiore back in.

Fiore told Network World that he felt a little dirty, because he got preferential treatment because of the Pulitzer and press hubbub because of the rejection of my app. He said that if it were not for the Pulitzer, I wouldn’t be in the App Store. What I want to come out of this is to change this policy so people don’t have to make a stink to make decent political satire for the App Store.

Steve Jobs has reportedly referred to the app‘s rejection as “a mistake” in an e-mail to a customer. After all who wants to be identified as a humourless control freak who does not recognise that humour is an important feature of western civilisation.
