- inactive, on 04/22/2009, -11/+103It would be cooler if you could upload your own baby pictures.
- sirgolf82, on 04/22/2009, -11/+81Stay Classy Apple.
- inactive, on 04/22/2009, -1/+62So the South Park app was offensive, but this is ok?
- wukillabee, on 04/23/2009, -8/+6099% of the 'apps' are garbage
- cmw72, on 04/23/2009, -1/+53It's already been pulled.
- Suits, on 04/23/2009, -2/+4399 cents? ***** that, I can just grab any baby off the street and shake til the cops find me.
- inactive, on 04/22/2009, -18/+48Could be good stress relief for new parents...could save a life.
- thelastcivilian, on 04/22/2009, -3/+33could also be fun for baby killers
- ssquared22, on 04/23/2009, -5/+26Wow, how is THAT not inappropriate? (makes note to purchase app before it is banned)
- inactive, on 04/22/2009, -4/+24I prefer the embryonic stem cell shaker app.
- thephosphorbox, on 04/23/2009, -3/+22Can't have Flash on your iPhone but you can shake a baby to death. Apple's got it's finger on the pulse of what it's users want out of their phones, no question.
- Ki77erB, on 04/23/2009, -4/+22You're too late. Every time you turn an iPhone on it shows you garbage.
- inactive, on 04/23/2009, -4/+20Everything should be approved, who cares what the app is?
- inactive, on 04/23/2009, -2/+18Kick the baby!
- mightymouse, on 04/23/2009, -1/+15CNet dude clearly doesn't see the humor that digg users see in this.
- jdh20201, on 04/23/2009, -4/+17I award apple the official 4chan seal of epic failure.
- xbt7v, on 04/22/2009, -2/+15WTF
- LonesomeFighter, on 04/22/2009, -2/+14could also reduce teen pregnancies since they may find out they can't stand crying.
- OrangeTide, on 04/23/2009, -5/+17practicing unwanted behavior as a way to avoid unwanted behavior is not an effective psychological method.
- failedpimp, on 04/23/2009, -0/+11i see what you did there.
- Anand999, on 04/23/2009, -0/+11They need to do way instain mother> who shake thier babbys.
- Landragoran, on 04/23/2009, -0/+11http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10225184-37.html
it's already gone from the store.
edit for wrong link :( - themastersb, on 04/23/2009, -3/+14who kill thier babbys. becuse these babby cant frigth back?
- o76923, on 04/23/2009, -2/+13I don't know why so many diggers are having trouble understanding what's wrong here. The problem isn't about the app being politically incorrect. The problem is that there is a reviewing process with very strict guidelines that many apps don't make it through. In essence Apple rates problems along the lines of Protecting Board members > shaking babies > regular apps > swear words > Google > proprietary content (ha ha ha) > Competition, from best to worse. I think that most people are more comfortable with profanity than infanticide. Apple taking the opposite position is ***** up.
- Cayfox, on 04/23/2009, -0/+10I hear they also have games now where you can shoot people and blow ***** up. Guess we can expect a sharp increase in gun violence and bombings...
- nepidae, on 04/23/2009, -4/+13So you are cool with ***** as long as you don't know anyone that its happened to? The height of hypocrisy. Because of your selfish viewpoint I'm gonna go ahead and say you were an arts or business double major.
- Eclipse10114, on 04/23/2009, -0/+9So hows that SlingPlayer App approval coming along Apple?
- bwonder, on 04/23/2009, -5/+14The gameplay is surprisingly deep.
- inactive, on 04/23/2009, -0/+8the game shouldn't end, the crying should just get louder and more hysterical upon more rigorous shaking of the phone
- inactive, on 04/23/2009, -1/+8That app saved my life my parents did not know about this syndrome but through this app they learned about the danger of baby shaking.
- Megatronz, on 04/23/2009, -1/+8I would consider getting an iPhone if I knew I could shake fake babies. I guess I'll have to stick to the real thing.
/s - roxgod666, on 04/23/2009, -2/+9Hmm, you just gave me a brilliant idea. I'll create the"iGarbage" app. It will show you a different piece of garbage every time you launch it. It will make millions!!!
- synergye, on 04/23/2009, -3/+9The people wanting this game banned have had their babies shaken?
- Ki77erB, on 04/23/2009, -1/+7I prefer my embryonic stem cells stirred not shaken.
- hinkypunx, on 04/23/2009, -6/+12could also be fun for killer babies
- vertigelt, on 04/23/2009, -0/+5RTFA; yes.
- jitterbits, on 04/23/2009, -0/+4Hope you got it. It's gone already...
- OrangeTide, on 04/23/2009, -1/+5Now I understand what it is silly that Apple allows this on their site. But I think it is equally silly for me to really care if someone is offended by it. You know a shaken baby? That's terrible. But all that tells me is that you don't agree with the pitiful attempt at humor this app has made, I don't think it makes the attempt any less valid just because a few people are offended by it.
- CoreyHalliwell, on 04/23/2009, -0/+4Now British nanny's will have something to practice on!
- ohplease, on 04/23/2009, -4/+8I don't mind if you kill a baby as long as you're doing it for food.
- nepidae, on 04/23/2009, -1/+5Yeah, thankfully you aren't forced to purchase them.
- thelastcivilian, on 04/22/2009, -6/+9Sheik Yerbebi
- TrashTV, on 04/23/2009, -0/+3I'd get shook for 0.99$
- vertigelt, on 04/23/2009, -0/+3and the swear words Apple disallows are just pixels on a screen. what's your point?
o76923 is just saying that if Apple's gonna be holier than thou, then they really oughta behave beyond reproach. And they ain't. - SlpingInsomniac, on 04/23/2009, -0/+3I think apple should allow people to download apps from other sources. Think about commercial iPhone programs, on CDs. Websites that you can trust the quality of their apps. All of the clutter is caused by the centralized single location for apps. Apple's policies on approved apps are far from free market ideology. If you give it a chance, it will work itself out.
I agree that there should be a screening process, just let us do the screening. I believe we have our own best interests in mind. - inactive, on 04/23/2009, -1/+4Apple already pulled it. Gone. Baby. Gone.
- jba68, on 04/23/2009, -2/+4IS it wrong that I laughed ?
- deslock, on 04/23/2009, -0/+2I'd say you're being very generous to say that 1% aren't garbage. I'm sure there is a fractional percent that isn't.. it's just hard to dig through these days.
Even the rating system sucks. - sonofabiscuit, on 04/23/2009, -0/+2Agreed. I want an iBoobs app!
