Baby Shaker

http://tech.yahoo.com/news/macworld/20090423/tc_macworld/babyshakerappapprovedthenremoved_1

Did anyone else see this article about an IPhone app that was recently scratched by Apple after some public outcry over it being in incredibly poor taste? Here's the description of the app from the article:

"Developed by Sikalosoft, Baby Shaker features a crude drawing of a baby, and the object of the game is to stop the baby from crying by shaking the iPhone until red X's appear over the baby's eyes. The description of Baby Shaker read: 'On a plane, on the bus, in a theater. Babies are everywhere you don’t want them to be! They’re always distracting you from preparing for that big presentation at work with their incessant crying. Before Baby Shaker there was nothing you could do about it.'"

I know the Hartattack Kid is laughing somewhere in Vermont because he hates babies and is the sort of person who would find this amusing. I don't, but he does. He also doesn't like dogs. What a cold-hearted SOB!

I hate babies that are loud and ill-mannered, just as I hate adults that are loud and ill mannered. However, there are a larger percentage of babies that fall into that category. If a child is well trained, I have no problem with it.

I don't "hate" dogs but I dislike them because they smell bad and many dogs are large enough that they can kill you if they want to. Thus, they can't be trusted. Also, dogs are no fun for cuddling unless you're gay and like to pretend that the dog is you big hairy lover.
