For those that didn’t know about this news yet, Apple’s Baby Shaker has been claimed as “Deeply offensive” iPhone application. It’s an iPhone game, where the players have to shake the crying babies to shut them up! The players have to keep shaking the iPhone, until a pair of “thick red Xs” appeared over the baby’s eyes.

Honestly, the Apple have no idea that this game could be causing some much of protest from the public, once it released to the iPhone users to download it.

According to the Apple, this game has been removed from the iTunes Store, two days after it went on sale. The parents whose children died or were permanently injured due to their babies being shaken have shown their protest outside an Apple Store.

The protestors mentioned that this game is totally immature and childish. They’ve also condemned that the Baby Shaker game developers didn’t think further while they’re creating this type of game. They might not know that there are many teenage babysitters all across the U.S.A., where they’ll learn and demonstrate the baby shaking action on the real babies. This is extremely dangerous, if this problem outspread amongst the people! [bbc]
