No activity, new inquiry sent.

As of today the WWCD is still in the status of "in review". With this in mind another email has been sent to the app review team. The following is a snippit of the email:

During the design of this app direct references of Chuck Norris were omitted in preparation of the app submission and Chuck Norris' name being defamed in any way. Just before the submission of this app there was an app that was rejected named iNorris. In an effort to not use comparisons this app nor any other has been mentioned. All that will be mentioned is that the rejection of this app gave the developer confidence in the design concerns that were addressed.
...and...
Finally, it is requested that this application continue through the review process and be approved as there is no reference to Chuck Norris in this application. It is a simple app that references a generic "Chuck". A comparison to Chuck Norris is not stated in this app and is not condoned with this app. If one is to take this application as a Chuck Norris app, this would be of their own will and not that of the developer.
With all due respect to Apple, we are really confused as to why this application cannot even get a review by the app store. Not mentioned in the email to them, but very relevant to this issue, is why an app that consists of shaking a baby to get your frustrations out can be accepted (http://bit.ly/14CEfv).

Although this application has been removed from the store, following public outrage, poses the question of why WWCD has not been accepted? Or even reviewed after 6 weeks of waiting in the review process.

Lets all cross our fingers in hopes that the review process will move forward and get this app accepted and on the app store.

The entirety of the email to Apple was not posted to respect the business relationship between the developer and Apple.

Update of no update

Well 5 days have gone by since the email from the developer program. No status update as of yet. I have inquired again on the status of the app so we shall see if I can get a reply. Although I am not holding my breath but I am at least looking at it positively.

Lets all keep our fingers crossed, mine are taped crossed.
