Sexy Podcasts on iTunes

Apple might've scored some additional geek cred for adding podcast support in its latest version of iTunes, but not everyone's as happy as we are to see several adult-themed selections in their inventory: Boing Boing points us to a recent editorial at iPodLounge that criticizes the company for not including enough "Explicit" labels in its podcast directory listings. To Apple's credit, they seem to have added warnings to many of the two dozen or so podcast links that turn up in a search for "sex" since the iPodLounge article was published, but we still can't help wondering if these are the same folks responsible for banning a relatively tame masturbation-themed playlist last year: if they thought "One To Tango" was family unfriendly, we can only imagine how they must feel about titles like "Rope Weekly", "SexGeek", and "SuicideGirls Radio" sharing the same virtual broadcast space with Al Franken and "Homeschool Habitat".
