Want to shake a baby to death? There's an app for that.

Except now the chicken-shit makers of the Baby Shaker app, along with Apple, apologized for it! How many REAL BABIES will be shaken to death now that a digital substitute is no longer available?

From the excellent blog appscout.com

Apple and the maker of the "Baby Shaker" iPhone app issued an apology Thursday for creating an app that was "greatly lacking in taste."

"This application was deeply offensive and should not have been approved for distribution on the App Store," Apple said in a statement e-mailed to PCMag.com. "When we learned of this mistake, the app was removed immediately. We sincerely apologize for this mistake and thank our customers for bringing this to our attention."

"Yes, the Baby Shaker iPhone app was a bad idea," according to a note on the Web site for Sikalosoft, which created Baby Shaker. "You should never shake a baby! Even on an Apple iPhone Baby Shaking application."

Sikalosoft stressed that Apple approved its app, but acknowledged that it was in poor taste.

The app allows people with iPhones to download an image of a baby, which they then shake to death. It has since been pulled.

"There are currently over 30,000 iPhone applications out there. So, there are many other iPhone applications you could be better spending your time and money on," Sikalosoft continued.

The company then listed its top 10 list of alternative apps, including Stick Wars, Flight Control, and Pocket God.
