Apparently, there's an app out there where a baby cries constantly, and you have to shake the phone to shut it up. When you do that, two red X's appear over the eyes. For whatever reason, Apple decided to approve it, and when people were in outrage over it, the app was quickly pulled.

that's cool, I've got two copies of this game at home.

Why would anybody pay for this? I don't see how shaking my phone like a retard would be considered fun.

Peoples said exactly the same thing for the Wiimote :-)

I understand how the protestors are upset, and how they'll want to point fingers at the most convenient party to blame, but you know the saying...
"Apps don't kill babies, morons do"
It amazes me how many stupid people are allowed to have a share in our gene pool

I'd hate to be the guy at Apple who greenlighted that app. I'm betting he had to go through a rather uncomfortable discussion with his superiors.

I wondered why they accepted the "Seal Clubbing" app...

I'm sure "Kick a Hobo" would be fine, so long as its not hobo children...
For some reason this reminds me of fallout, you can kill endless numbers of people, so long as they are over 18!

They should make smart bullets that can only kill people over the age of 18 or 21 depending on the age of adulthood where the gun is fired. Think of it, an end to school shootings (at least shooting students), safety for kids who lie about their age to get into the military and no chance whatsoever to defend yourself from a dosed up 15 year old crack whore with a knife!

i always like the (chris rock?) idea of giving out free guns, but charging a thousand bucks a bullet. That way you'd REALLY have to feel it was worth it to pull the trigger. ;-)
Ahem. I sense that Apple's approval system is a little more lax than nintendo's.

For those of you who don't get the joke, it's Chris Rock standup performance that was in Bowling for Columbine (Michael Moore film... go figure). Funny as hell, f-bombs sprinkled here and there.

No, the bullets would just be stolen instead of bought.
