Apple Clears Child Abuse Game - Then Pulls It
Oh dear, Apple's had to pull an iPhone/Pod Touch game called Baby Shaker from the App Store. The game, from a company called Sikalosoft, has caused OUTRAGE.

The "game" featured sketches of babies who cried at you. The only way to stop them was to shake your 'i' device until a red cross appeared over each of the infants' eyes.

Baby Shaker actually cost money (99c) and was tagged as, "On a plane, on the bus, in a theatre. 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. See how long you can endure his or her adorable cries before you just have to find a way to quiet the baby down!"

Apple has not yet issued any comment regarding how the 'game' made its way through the usually strict submissions process. Possibly, because it contained no swearing.
