"Popular softcore, indie/alt porn site Suicide Girls has just revealed its latest foray into digital eye candy: iPad Galleries.\nThe self-described \"Apple nerd\" and site founder Missy Suicide said today in a blog post, \"You can now see the set photos full frame and pinch and zoom and swipe to your heart's content in the gorgeous new iPad galleries.\"\nOf course, this is all just a work-around to mitigate the sad fact that Apple won't allow porn or porn-like applications in its App Store. As you may recall, Apple CEO Steve Jobs has famously stated his intentions to give Apple product users \"freedom from porn,\" whether they like it or not. \nThis is the latest Apple-related offering from SG since the App Store unceremoniously dumped the brand's no-nudity Flip-Strip iPhone app, which, while racy, was hardly X-rated. The app was downloaded five million times before it was pulled. The company's other iPhone app, Seduce A SuicideGirl, is still alive and kicking; this $0.99 app lets you attempt to pick up a cute girl in a comic shop at the risk of receiving humiliating rejections.\nGiven the companies' history, we're guessing that a native SG iPad app is likely not in the works; however, this full-screen gallery idea is a decent substitute.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCall us crazy, but the App Store certainly is paying a high price for morality, considering how much more revenue could be generated from relatively innocuous app like the ones SG has put on the table so far. Needless to say, we're sure the folks at Apple lose far less sleep over this fact than do the people behind sites such as SG.\nWe can't wait to see what the clever kids at Suicide Girls devise for Android tablets, though. As we all know, the Android Market gatekeepers have no such qualms about serving adult content to adults.\nThe nine-year-old company boasts 5 million uniques a month (currently, the site gets as much or more traffic than Hustler.com, according to Alexa) and has hundreds of thousands of subscribers who dig the brand's sex-positive approach and countercultural bent.\n\n\nFor more Apple coverage, follow Mashable Apple on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
