Baby shaker iPhone app yanked
An iPhone app that required the user to shake the device to quiet a crying baby has been pulled from the iTunes store after at least a couple of groups raised a stink about it.
The Associated Press reports:
The iTunes description included the line, “See how long you can endure his or her adorable cries before you just have to find a way to quiet the baby down!” Once the iPhone owner finishes shaking the device, the on-screen baby is depicted with large red X’s over its eyes.
Apple has refused to sell other iPhone applications it has deemed objectionable, including one that allowed the user to manipulate a woman’s breasts and an application based on the show “South Park.” However, “fart buttons” are among the most popular items stocked at the iTunes store. Go figure.
Edit: Now that I’ve seen the video, this is offensive in addition to being pointless.
