A co-worker pointed out today that this may be a safe outlet for people who would otherwise be shaking real babies. Please, think of the children!

I found it a little disturbing, but I also found it amusing watching people's outrage come to a sputtering stop when asked if they understood the difference between a real baby and a computer program.

There's nothing offensive about this great Wreckx-n-Effect song. Oh, that's "Rump Shaker". Carry on, then.

As a mother, I have to admit that the idea of this game makes me cringe and is pretty upsetting. However, there are lots of upsetting things in the world and everyone isn't required to bow down to my sensibilities...

The one thing I miss is my little crack monkey pet for the palm pilot. feed it beer and hits and it's happy, deprive it and it throws shit at you. Free dumb-asses protesting such an app = Priceless

I have a brand new son. I must be growing up as I was surprised that I found this offensive. Nonetheless, sick offensive humor shouldn't be banned. Stupid boring apps should be.

Just run the app and leave the iPhone in a hot car with the app running. It automatically calls 911, hilarity ensues!

the reaction to this asinine. It takes a heap of magical thinking to go from this app to the real live act.

I'm more offended that people were willing to pay 99 cents for such a boring game.

Bad things exist in the world, and people make games with them. The iPhone has become an outpost of tyranny.
