Slasher Removed from the App Store

Looks like yet another app has been kicked off the App Store with no explanation. This time, it was an app called Slasher. It was simple enough. It just featured the image of a knife and when you made a stabbing motion with your iPhone, it made a horror sound. iPhone Software Downloads

For the moment, the only reason that’s being tossed around for this app’s removal is it may have violated an application regulation that prohibits apps that contain “objectionable” material. 

Sure, the Slasher app may have been silly and pointless, but what was so wrong about it? I’d be interesting in hearing the official reason, if there ever is one.
