Bye-Bye Baby Shaking Game

On Wednesday April 22,2009 Apple Inc pulled a game called "Baby Shaker" off of the iTunes store. The game prompted an outrage because in it, you try to quiet down a baby who is crying, by shaking it. The game displays black and white drawings of a baby.

The description of the game at the iTunes store said "See how long you can endure the babies cries before you have to find a way to quiet it down". To quiet down the baby the iPhone owner shakes the device and big red X's appear over the eyes.

An apple spokesperson said this game went on sale on Monday and was removed by Wednesday. The spokesperson did not say why the game was approved to be sold. Apple said it screens each iPhone application and gives little feedback on them.
