Apple Approves Disturbing ‘Baby Shaker’ App (Yet My iPhone Still Can’t Text Photos)

Published on

Wow.  And here I thought Facebook’s “What kind of sandal are you?” application was stupid…

No joke.

As you can imagine, there was a teensy bit of backlash, and Apple has since pulled the application from its store.
