Cinemax MAX GO Universal Application Now Available In App Store

"MAX GO contains age-restricted material." This is the pop-up message displayed when iOS fans download Cinemax's new, universal and free application on an iDevice, which obviously emphasizes the fact that MAX GO features what can only be described as "adult content." Following the release of the app, which allows users to stream Cinemax content on an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, many have been wondering how the application made it past the approval process.
In the past, Apple has rejected applications for a variety of different reasons - and it's common knowledge that the company detests pornographic material, nudity, or rudeness on any level (except, of course, farting). With shows and movies such as "The Best Sex Ever" and "Hotel Erotica," how did Cinemax manage to push its application past the approval team?
Honestly, I don't know. Before, we've seen Apple accept "big name apps" and reject others (such as the Sports Illustrated app), suggesting - as The Inquisitor notes - that bigger companies can get their saucy material past the approval team. On the other hand, this could be a blip and MAX GO could end up being removed.
The application is impressive. As outlined in the app's release notes, features include:
