Perhaps it is just because there is/was a billboard along the freeway due to a local case of a baby who was killed by being shaken. Perhaps it is that I'm an expecting father. Still, with people apparently still unaware of the dangers of shaking a baby, the Baby Shaker App for the iPhone seems in extremely poor taste. It has now been pulled, but originally passed Apple's approval process. The description of the app 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.
Am I just failing to find the dark humor here?

The humor is sophomoric at best, and pathological at worst. Kudos to Apple for pulling it. Another attempt to get sales by a race to the bottom.
Who are these sick people?
It's just too bad that it got approved at all...
