Quirky App Of The Day: Rude Pimple

Pimples are a part of life for many high school students. Some people are blessed with immaculate faces or the discipline to stick to a beauty regiment. I wasn't blessed with either, but I will admit that the latter option was far more in my control than regulating my facial genes. Either way, pimples were a pain in the rear. They were obnoxious on their own, but a developer has found a way to increase their obnoxiousness. Rude Pimple is an app that gives a pimple the ability to speak. Predictably, it doesn't have too many nice things to say.
Rude Pimple is a universal app that makes you feel even more self conscious about your face. As if pimples didn't make you feel uneasy enough. Just tap on the pimple to hear it rail against your looks and anything else it can insult. If you find it difficult to hear the insults for whatever reason, the developers kindly translated the insults along the bottom of the app. You can read them at your leisure. They're so thoughtful. Suppose you find an insult that you believe applies to a particular friend, and being the warm, sharing person that you are, you want to let your friend in on the fun. Never fear. The app allows you to share the rudeness of your pimple app with anyone who has an email address. If you would rather share your pimple insult with more than just a handful of friends, you could share it through Twitter or Facebook. Then, everyone can see it. I never thought I would say this, but I think the Internet is becoming too small. Rude Pimple is available in the App Store for the awesome price of FREE!
