You really do have to wonder sometimes

You have a baby.  Its crying.  How do you quieten it down?

Shake the crap out of it, right.

Thats what some brainiac thought would make a fun game for people to play on their iphones and ipods.  Called Baby Shaker, people who downloaded and played the game said the player had to shake the phone vigorously to stop the crying sound. The game ends when red crosses appear on the baby’s eyes, signifying that it has died.

After a number of complaints, Apple took the game off its download site.

The game was uploaded to the App Store by a company called Sikalosoft. The company’s website was hosted on the free Google Sites web platform and has since been taken down.

Looks like a barrel of laughs, doesn’t it?  You just have to wonder what sort of sicko even thinks something like this would be fun.

    1. That’s really depressing.

      Humans can be awful creatures.

      I saw part of Untraceable yesterday–the movie about a killer who kills his victim based on how many hits he gets on his website. People come to the site to watch his victim die.

      The sad thing is I can TOTALLY imagine that happening in real life.

      Some people are incredibly disgusting and cruel.

    2. The saddest thing about that is the number of decision-makers it had to go through in order to be released at all. People were presented with the idea and approved it. Test markets gave it the go-ahead. The world is a fucked up place.
