    According to MacRumors and CultOfMac, developers can choose "Explicit" as a new category in the App Store.

    Edit: Category was removed. Thanks to the mod who changed the title. :)

    Sounds like a good choice to me!

    Keep the pr0ns in the bucket where it's available, but easy to block if parents choose to.

    "Restricting access to explicit content in the iTunes Store
    You can restrict access to explicit content in the iTunes Store. To change access settings, you must be an administrator of your computer."

    The above excerpt was grabbed from the help menu in iTunes. As a parent myself I appreciate this idea of having defined categories.

    Like Big Albie, I don't get why you need to have the boob apps on the phone/touch but then again I have a hard time remembering puberty since it was so long ago. ;)

    How about they just come up with a more family friendly word besides "explicit"? Here are few from my disturbed mind:

    Visual Delights
    Asthma Attack
    Palpitative Exploits
    Organic Trepidations
    Droolers
    Wowweee!
    Friction
    Chapstick
