Apple iPhone Baby Shaker

This is ridiculous. Clearly the Apple marketplace system is broken if this app is allowed to get onto the Apple Store.

“A company called Sikalosoft is currently selling a $0.99 iPhone application called Baby Shaker, as of Monday. The object of Baby Shaker is to stop the incessant crying of an infant pictured on screen by violently shaking the iPhone, at which point two red "x" marks appear over the baby's eyes. "See how long you can endure his or her adorable cries before you just have to find a way to quiet the baby down!" reads the sales pitch for Baby Shaker.”

More at CNET. Pathetic.

Agreed. Fortunately, Apple's pulled the app. Interesting debate going on at the NYTimes Bits blog: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/22/in-defense-of-baby-shaking-on-the-iphone/
