Consumer Disinterest in Pretending to Kill Babies May Be Linked to Economic Downturn
Apple has pulled the controversial Baby Shaker application from its iPhone App store, after a wave of backlash over the program, which sought to liven up the tedium of down time by making virtual infanticide fit neatly into the palm of your hand.
The 99-cent Baby Shaker app, created by a company called Sikalosoft, let iPhone users try to stop a virtual infant from crying by violently shaking their iPhone until two red “x"s appeared over the baby’s eyes.
So, if you’ve ever found yourself waiting in line at the grocery store, thinking “This is boring. I wish I could pretend to shake an infant until it dies,” your iPhone will no longer be able to help you, although that old-fashioned do-it-yourself application iNeed Therapy might.
