9 Banned Apps: 1. Baby Shaker

1. Baby Shaker
The defense: In this stretch of the word “game,” your job is to quiet a crying baby by… (wait for it) shaking it as hard as you can, until it dies.
The complaint: We shouldn’t have to spell this one out, but Apple objected to the patently offensive content of the game.
Fairness of the judgment: We’re comfortable with backing Apple on this one. While we’re firmly against the idea of censorship and are uncomfortable with Apple deciding what’s in good taste and what isn’t, at the end of the day selling the game would cast Apple as a purveyor of infanticide snuffware.
Likelihood of appeal: About as likely as Charles Manson ever seeing daylight again. Case dismissed.
