Joyce’s Ulysses Banned Again—by Apple

Slate BiGMoney:

As everyone who took a modern lit class in college knows, Ulysses was banned from publication in the United States because of a scene in which Leopold Bloom masturbates on a beach while fireworks burst nearby. The courts eventually decided the episode wasn’t obscene because it didn’t promote lust.

History is repeating itself again, this time in Apple’s (AAPL) App Store. Sarah Weinman at the Daily Finance says that a Webcomic adaptation of the book, Rob Berry and Josh Levitas’ Ulysses Seen, has been banned from iPads and iPhones because of cartoon nudity. 

You’ve got to be kidding me.
