Over 40 million Americans visit porn sites. Men aged 18 to 24 account for roughly 70 of this audience. One out of three is female. And the fascinating thing is that Sunday is considered primetime for pornography. But you don’t care, Apple, and that is a problem. So let me ask you a question, Apple: why does it matter to you?

Well whatever, because you can’t stop this bum rush – the harrowing experience of Chatroulette is now available on the iPhone 4 as iChatr, an app with all the charm* of the site that spawned it.
