An app featuring a cartoon porcupine that seeks to highlight the perils of drug use - partly designed by a Manchester animation house - has been blocked by Apple for being "too violent".

Working with a digital agency which didn't want to be named, Kilogramme created a game for Oxfordshire Drug and Alcohol Action Team (DAAT) that allows players to to steer the porcupine through a house party without succumbing to the temptation of drugs and alcohol.

It depicts the side effects of various drugs such as vomiting, hallucinations and collapse.

It was released for android devices in September but proved too much for Apple which came back saying it was too violent.

A company named kilogramme making an anti drug video game with a porcupine in it, makes about as much sense, as a company named kilogramme making a an anti drug game with a porcupine in it.

Did you mean to say, "A company named kilogramme making an anti drug video game with a porcupine in it, makes about as much sense, as a company named porcupine making a an anti drug game with a kilogramme in it"?

-I immediately thought of GTA China Town Wars, and watdo? Fucking GTA is the basis for the argument in the article.
 
Maybe it's a conspiracy that Apple is anti-prohibition and subtly trying to change peoples perceptions?

Hell, there are plenty of conspiracies for why drugs are illegal and government involvement, we should have to have one too =D
 
lol
Great, next thing you know, someone is going to start saying that the CIA purposely crashed that spy drone into Iran, and that it was loaded full of a time release version of the Andromeda Strain.
 
So let me get this straight...A company named kilogramme is making an anti-porcupine game with a drug in it?
