...my resume is like the picture of me. This company expected me to change it in order to hand me an application for a job. I think this is wrong. This company may take an investigation on what I said on my resume but not right to request me to type every details what I was doing between two jobs. I felt like they expected me to wear make up and take my picture again to please them. It's ridiculous, isn't it? If you want to verify. Please call 1-888-410-6471 and pretend you are applying jobs with your resume which have a gap of time between two jobs.

Um - yeah. They can ask for any information that isn't expressly prohibited by law - and gaps on the resume are not protected.
From your details, it doesn't seem like you and the company would have been a good match anyway. I think they made the best decision.
You might want to lighten up and remember that it's their company and (as long as it's legal) they make the rules. That's they way it works in the work-a-day world.

They want the information to verify what you were doing. If you want the job, do what they request.
My humble opinion is that is poor of you to leave a gap on your resume without explanation. I'd want clarification too. If you were traveling the world, slumming on the beach, or serving 1-2 for theft, you need to be sure there are no red flags to attract an interviewer's investigation.

In a time when it is extremely important to know the details of your employee's history especially with all the violent types of people in the world, they have to ask everything. You do want to work in safe environment, don't you? Keep in mind, they asked everyone else the same questions.

You mean that you think they were supposed to hire you and they didn't agree?
If you don't follow their rules in the application process, you won't follow them after you're hired. Congratulations on failing the very first test they gave you.
Maybe the next place will be a little easier on your ego, but don't count on it.

it is customary for employers to ask applicants to explain large blocks of unaccounted for time in job history

What they asked for is perfectly legal. If you don't like it, then don't respond and you will surely be denied the job.
