 :) Wow, I like the ambiguity of 'sells his own fart apps'!
Interesting question is whether the correct parsing is 'his
own fart' or that plus 'apps'?
How to make money from the Apple shop: make simple
little programs for the more Beavis and Buttheaded
12 year olds and the adults they become.
This would open a whole range of possibilities (left to your
imagination) if it weren't for the no adult content (unless
from Playboy) policy.

LOL Yeah I wondered that myself; is he using his own fart sounds?

Smells or sells, that is the question, as auld Will would have it.

Oh well, in for a penny, in for a pound.

Article put me in mind of the potential for 'phone sex' style
apps: could be huge among idiots, but Apple apparently won't even allow
nudes on the Playboy app (giving a whole new meaning to 'only read it for
the articles'), so suppose it's 'fat chance' there.

An acquaintance engaged in the trade (and extremely cynical about it, as
you might expect) once went into detail on the required tools
(including a bucket of water and brick to drop in it, doubtless to simulate
a fetish too strange to consider, never worked that one out), wish I could remember
more of the description, but those (bucket of water + brick) were the star turns for
strangeness.

Sounds more like Chinese water torture than a fettish lol

I have seen a few sex related apps like a "roll the dice" type thing, and a Kama Sutra sex position app. But yeah I think it's a fine line to walk with Apple and it's rating system.

From the descriptions I've read, the torture effect in Chinese water torture relies on slow drippy application.

Never thought about it much but there is another possibillity: the script is something like 'Ooh, I'm in my skimpiest bathers now, about to jump into the POOL!!' SPLOSH!!! ... but having since seen ads for 'phone sex', doubt that one.

Oh well, should have asked what it was for at the time (the others were pretty obvious).
