Apple’s legal team appears to have its panties in a twist over an unusual subject: sex toys. We all know that there are a few things that Apple likes to keep to itself. Its name.
Now, Macworld is reporting that Apple’s not, shall we say, excited about an ad campaign for the “iGasm” from naughty-appliance manufacturer Ann Summers. It’s a little £30 gadget that encourages open-minded consumers to ” take your appreciation of music to a whole new level” through a vibrating add-on; I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination.
Apple does have a point. The salacious “iGasm” advertisement does look more or less exactly like its easily recognized iPod ads, except that, well, there’s something resembling a white earbud cord meandering down to the scantily clad nether regions of the female silhouette depicted, lovely.
The promotions, consequently, are rubbing Apple’s lawyers the wrong way. They’re allegedly demanding that Ann Summers strip down all ads for the iGasm or face legal action.
