e-Publishing | Citing "objectionable content," Apple has removed "Anda's Game" from the iTunes store. "Anda's Game" was one of several stories by novelist and blogger Cory Doctorow that was included in IDW's Cory Doctorow’s Futuristic Tales of the Here and Now. Robot Comics (no relation) adapted it into an iPhone application.

"The publisher says that they believe this beheaded orc is the objectionable content in question," Doctorow wrote on BoingBoing. "So much for Apple as a benevolent dictator, well-suited to acting as guardian of what sorts of things you should and should not be allowed to run on your devices."

If the beheading was the reason for the removal, it's worth noting that violent movies like 300 and Lord of the Rings (the latter of which features plenty of human-on-orc violence) are still available from iTunes.
