iPhone Launches "Peek-A-Boo Tranny" App

Apple has allowed the launch of a new app that "hilariously" inserts a "tranny" into photos, ostensibly for the purpose of shaming your friends. Bil Browning reacts at Bilerico:
Not only is the whole premise offensive - especially the name - but Apple is notorious for being prudish about the apps it approves for sale in its App Store. This one made it through the process but a dictionary was blocked temporarily for including definitions for curse words and they still mark most LGBT apps as "contain age-restricted material" that requires you to put in your password to "prove" you're over the age of 17. What's next now that Apple's standards department is okay with stereotypes and slurs? I smell Peekaboo Wetback! It'll insert a Mexican man wearing a sombrero and holding a burrito!
UPDATE: GLAAD reports that they have convinced Apple to remove the app.
