  • People only care because its a baby.

    If it were shaking a picture of a middle aged man we would all be like "yeah cool"

  • LMFAO! My friend just got this app and it's fucking hilarious!

  • Rofl, the ad on the bottom featured 2 little kids saying "we're going to disneyland!"

  • whoOoOoo cares big deal.. its a good way to take out your aggression towards

    babies without actually hurting any! im sure we've all wanted to silence

    a crying baby at one point or another.

  • Wanna shake a baby till it dies?

    Theres an app for that!!!

  • Games get released that have detailed violence, blood, and dying.

    But little red x's over a little sketched up baby is inappropriate?

  • Only in America would this cause uproar.

    It's made for the purpose trolling the iStore by a bunch of smartasses. How is this making news?

    Parents and childrens rights groups??

    It is not worth giving attention to or the outrage. Get over it.

    Look at it, hardly any effort went into making it. The graphic of the baby when it's dead is not even different to the alive one, just with X's over it's eyes. It's like making a news story about someone spray-painting the word "fuck" in a public area.

  • right on!

  • Woe to the man that harms the very least of these (children) Its better for him to have a block of cement tied around his neck and flung into the sea ....

  • Shaking babies is horrible because it can kill them or make them retarded for the rest of their life. But this app is simply misunderstood-- It's not (necessarily) encouraging shaking babies; rather, it's raising awareness of shaken baby syndrome.

    Perhaps instead of pulling the app from the store, the developers could simply provide an alternate method of punishment. For instance: sodomy. I know from experience that sodomy is an effective way of quieting a crying baby. Plus, it doesn't kill.

  • it`s basically the same thing like killing humans in shooter games .. only here there are babies .. but from my point of view o lot worse ..

    to be more exact i`ve been playng shooter games for a few years now and "killed" thounsads of "humans" but when i first saw the app i was terrified .. it`s like i just killed my baby ..

    the psihological efect it has on you it`s a lot stronger than any game .. it`s defenitly not real but it sure seems to be .. or something like that :)

  • lmfao

    game is EPIC

    LOL

  • Even though I think the concept for the game is wrong I think it would help bring down the number of babies that die from shaken baby syndrome just from public exposure. Please dont ever shake your baby put it up for adoption or something.

  • WOW! People actually wonder what's wrong with the world, well here you go. Shame on ipod & shame on the games inventor! This makes me sick!!!

  • You could have better spent your time learning to speak Afghani and practicing Islam because I suppose that is what you would rather have then, and I thought it was France that always lay down in the face of the enemy...pathetic..

  • Have we really become this sick? I don't know which is more disturbing,,that someone would actually make something like this or that people would actually defend it...

  • What I find most disturbing about the 'game'. Is how crap it is.

    It must have taken them all of 5 minutes to write, and then they have the audacity to ask money for it!

  • Thank you! I can't believe people here are saying dumbass shit like, "I can't believe people can't take a joke and focus on this more than starving children in Africa."

    WTF???? You people are really sick...

    And it DOES promote shaking baby syndromes, assholes!

  • Have you seen that app for the iphone shaking the baby, well blackberry came out with one-search "Blackberry Babyshaker"

  • i find it very humorous i dont know why its such a big deal?

  • I LOL'd.

  • whoa

  • O BOO HOO! You don't see war vets going up in arms like this just cause a new war game came out... and TRUST ME, they've been through WAY more shit than a parent who's kid was killed by shaking. wish someone had shook them when they were kids... then we wouldn't hafta listen to this crap on the news.

  • epic fail

    epic fail

    mega lol

  • That's pretty hilarious.

  • so grand theft auto has no issues

  • aero915

    that was my thought exactly!!

    Iv seen these video games that my stupid cousins husband plays and its just like your in a war zone and it all looks very graphic and very real - so this is no different - apart from they killed adults in the video game and this is a child - at the end of the day they are both "killing human life"

    pathetic

  • well, the public wouldnt consider a baby getting killed.

  • yea people see real innocent humans getting killed everyday in places like Iraq and Afghanistan - OH BUT WAIT, they dont matter do they!! stupid americans!!

    OH BY THE WAY IM ENGLISH so b4 anyone wants a bitch at me just let me know K?

  • ENGLISH WAHOOO

    SAVE SAINT GEORGES DAY

  • LOL!!!

    Yea its a shame only a few mindless yobs ruin it for everyone else - u dig??

  • nope no dig

    how about facebook

  • Wait aren't the UK and USA allies? So that means the limeys are in Iraq and Afghanistan too right?

  • jester2k71

    Just to point out to you that the majority of people in England DID NOT want to go to war in Iraq or Afghanistan - but seens as we are govened by our government here in the UK we didn't have a choice - plus we were lied to

    We held many large protests AGAINST going to war and many WHILST we were/are at war

    I couldn't give a damn about America's policies

  • hahaha! thats class i want 1!

  • omg a babY come on WTF!!!

  • aw now theres no app to do this gonna have to go out and shake real babys

  • Oh so its OK to shake a martini but not a baby? wtf

  • how do you make them stars? they are pretty cool.

  • response to Fonderplague: how would it make it to the "Apps" dept..? this began as an idea in someones head and instead of takin' him to the closest State Hospital for the criminally insane (oops,Reagan got rid of those), they put an idea into the next realm which should have been squashed like the bug that created it..

  • LOL, I knew this would spark outrage. God, what a bunch of dim-witted, double-digit IQ'd morons we have on this planet. "NO! Don't shake a digital baby until it dies! That sends such a horrible message!!'' What message, idiot? People are going to go out and start shaking babies willy-nilly until they die now, right? Holy. Tap-dancing. Christ.

  • I think this guy and supporters of it have totally corrupt morals. America is on a downward spiral because of people who choose not what is right but the opposite,..if you think I'm too serious and I don't have a funny bone you are wrong, but theres a fine line where some things need not be said/done.

  • Your singing was great, but you need to work on playing and singing at the same time.

  • how could this sick %#$@ get his idea passed the introduction stage at the board meeting..? or, did the board approve it..? we have some sick %$#@! in charge I swear..

  • uhh there is no board meeting about making apps. Do some reading before you type out any shit for the world to read.

  • check out "babyshaker app blackberry"

  • America:

    Pro torture,

    anti-baby shaking iPhone App.

  • Seems everything is in order here.

  • sick.

  • Fuckin people are stupid.

    You don't even see the baby die. A couple of red x's pops up on its eyes.

    Jesus, this is why the US is now the fucking cesspool of the world. Because all the stupid old white people makes big ass deals of small shit like this, instead of actually doing shit to make us look less like jackasses. Like stop eating you fatasses.

  • but a great commercial for the producer

  • Yeah! The beaners and the niggers didn't make a fuss...

    Damn white people.. always bitchin bout SOMETHING

  • They actually have shit to bitch about.

    White people bitch about the most retarded shit I've ever heard of.

  • Omg someone made some drawings of some babies and you can shake them...WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! STFU you activist pussy whiners!

  • Faggots

    the lot of you

    its a drawing

    deal with it

    pussys

  • Who cares, it's just a game.

  • where can i get this prog?

  • Soo, it's fine to blow someone one with a gun or stab someone with a knife in games. With the gore included.

    But it's not fine to shake a baby?

  • ZombieFashion no cos it's a BABY. Fuck Apple, morons.

  • apparently so...

  • boycott apple.sick game!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • ll thats wrong but funny!

  • I think shaking babys should be a sport the one who kills the baby first wins. Extra points if you can make it retarded

  • Double points if you can make its head fall off.

  • how is a baby shaking fun

    its just sick

    your mind it fucked up

    shake it untill it dies:O

    im getting you sued

  • hahaha your such a loser you really think you could get this guy sued for making a joke on youtube cause your to fuckin retarded to lighten up

  • I can see why somebody created this. It's annoying when these kids scream bloody murder, and their parents are too busy to notice. So much so that you want to go up to the kid and yell at them to shut up.

  • That just makes me sick and i want the company to stop making junk like this baby shaker.I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE WORD(HORRIBLE).

  • this baby shaker should be still selling for people who are in a lot of stress its not killing a real baybe people get over it its not a big deal

  • I think it's a good thing that game existed.

    It made people aware of the negative consequences of shaking a baby - directly ( x _x ) and indirectly (because of all the whining media etc.)

  • i think it was created just to see what you can get away with. this will just be the tip of the iceberg. look out there could be some worse things coming.

  • lololol this is the biggest bullshit ever. who really cares they obviously didnt make it to get people angry, its just for fun.

  • It's not a real baby.... Shut up you are over reacting, and being absolutely ridiculous....

  • stop crabbing peoples fun, if a man wants to shake a virtual baby then so be it. If you dont like it dont buy it, enough said.

  • there have been extremely violent video games for more than 2 decades, some which you allowed your own children to play. so just march your pretty little heads over to the television to watch Oprah, and shut the fuck up. thanks!

  • You can all kindly go fuck yourselves, as you are all worse than Hitler.

  • If you ever had the displeasure of being at a post-mortem examination of a infant who had been shaken to death, you would not think of it as a "free speech issue," a "cool app," or some other idiotic rant. You walk away from those things numb, wishing you could have done something to save him or her from a violent death. Its the equivilent of a 75 mph car accident for adults, as far as the injuries to the brain. Not a cool thing to see.

  • this game sounds like all kinds of awesome.

  • *Downloads game*

  • people need to shut the fuck up.. did any babies get killed when the app was used?? nope!

    Maybe it SAVED babies because people shook their Iphone instead of their real life baby! I say keep the app in the store! haha

  • true that ppl need to stfu

  • you need to stfu

  • your a dumbshit,

    it can PROMOTE shaking babies

    Ever think of that?

    you inconsiderate asshole

  • If an iPhone game could promote parents to shake their babies, it's probably alright as the natural selection should eliminate such retards from the gene pool :\

  • its just not parents, and there are numerous accounts of parents getting so mad, they shake their baby, its not funny.

    Its also just not parents that shake babies , its baby sitters, or friends.

    baby sitters can be anyone..

  • "it can PROMOTE shaking babies"

    Yeh right ! .. and all the gun apps on the iphone can promote shooting people with guns. and Grand Theft Auto can promote.....

    What a crap politically correct world we live in.

  • AMEN BROTHER! :D

  • Do you have kids?

  • Yup... next

  • It sick anyway... "YAY!!! Lets shake a baby till it dies, wooooo hooo".. wtf.

  • Lets shake a very bad black and white drawing until red Xs appear... oh yeh that's violent. (NOT !)

    I bet you'd be wanting to ban all the Tom & Jerry and Loony Tunes cartoons as well.

  • Well then as you appear to be getting so hot under the collar about some completely silly iPhone game.

    I see on your profile you've posted two videos "Parents: Beat Your Kids" and "Little kid gets his ass kicked". Which from what I can see would appear to condone and encourage domestic violence and bullying against children.

    Care to explain why the above mentioned subject matter is OK, and what's on the Baby Shaker game is not.

  • Because my shits a joke fam, you can see it up on my vids. That shit where you shake a baby to death for kicks, well thats just fucked up

  • So your having a joke about domestic violence against children. yeh that's pretty fucked up.

  • ur fucking retarted, like some1s gonna think twice b4 shakeing their baby n grab their fucking iphone dipshit! u people are idiots

  • fookin babies... :s who need um .. just another generation of *gasp* soldia boy listeners..."ILL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT" *shakes baby*

  • Is this really a big deal that it has to come out on the news. WOW this is only a game like GTA IV

  • The squares are "outraged". Hunter would be proud. I love this app. Not the app as much as the response too it. Let the righteous furry of indignation wash over our land of sinners and baby shakers. Maybe if we are lucky, we can ruin as many of their days as possible with apps like baby shaker. We are the men in red woolen shirts, they are the confused man at the bar.

  • Hunter was a coward who blew his brains out and made his family clean up his shit-for-brains.

  • I can't believe this is the mentality that gets rated up. I mean if it's a troll, sure that's one thing. I guess it was a slow news day between school shootings and family annihilators in the good `ol USA, woo #1 . Further more, what's wrong with blowing you're brains out and letting your family clean it up? Sure, if you are 16 live a few more years before you lay down on the train tracks, but if you are in your 50's and have led a good life and are tired and ready to go. Arrivederci I say...

  • As a post script, thanks for proving my point more directly than I ever could. I would say elegantly, but I imagine that to be word seldomly associated with you, nor did you display that bit of character here. I believe it was Twain that said it is hard to argue with a good example. You sir, are that. Cheers for being a reactionary, knee jerk pawn ready to leap out of the shadows to discredit another with no actual argument other than to spew vitriol. Like the monkeys at the zoo with poo.

  • Haw Haw! You said "poo"!

    My turn! Fart! Potty! heh heh Boogers!

  • just go fuck yourself

  • much worse stuff out there than that, and i mean much worse

  • like what?

  • that's retarded. people just need to learn when to ignore things

  • Oh please - it's a stupid game. Why don't we burn some books when we're done.

  • That's coming next. Ray Bradbury might have been a bit of an oracle....

  • this game is being pulled because it promotes violence? then shouldn't most games (ie GTA) be pulled as well as those games require you to do MUCH more despicable deeds. maybe poeple need to focus on other things like, i don't know, the people that ACTUALLY shake REAL babies!

  • as someone who is raising and caring for a "Shaken Baby" who was shaken beginning at the age of 6 weeks that everyone should be outraged. This is a deadly and very common form of child abuse and sometimes can be very hard to detect but the effects are no joke,no game--but VERY serious and when you see someone being irresponsible and making light of a cause that hits home you to should be OUTRAGED!!! Shame on APPLE!!!

  • Who would have thought nut jobs who are afraid of fake things would think that shaking a Fake Baby would be seen in the same light as shaking a real baby. Ridiculous. The baby you hold, REAL, baby in a computer game or Ipod, NOT-REAL.

    This is just like saying that Grand Theft Auto makes people kill. People who thought that were people who were yuppy mothers who never play video games. Making rules to protect the children. Based on something they have no idea about, and just fear. Idiots.

  • I don't mean maybe your shaken a baby!

  • fookin babies :/

  • they should come out with a abortion game like when can you actually kill the fetus ,betcha they wont make no protest on that .yea once the baby makes it out its a human , you can kill it.

  • Thats Fucked Up

  • Oh hellz yeah. Game of the Year.

  • whoever decided that shaking babies was a good idea clearly has no life. i mean seriously, u think this is a laughing matter?

  • i lol'd, and i keep lolling.

  • FUCK APPLE

  • Yet abortion is legal?

  • True. It is also legal to shake an aborted foetus.

  • they should come out with a abortion game  like when can you actually kill the fetus ,betcha they wont make no protest on that .yea once the baby makes it out its a human , you can kill it.

  • Wow! A lot of people on here seem pretty low! Really, Everyone wonders why there is so many crazy parents doing crazy things to their children and itunes comes out with a game like this! It not a laughing matter, i don't care what anyone says. Who ever created this, something so horrible needs a wake up call. Baby shaking syndrome is a real thing and its pretty fucked up that the poor little child can't even defend its self. Coming out with a app like this is like saying its okay to do this! AH

  • I agree compleatly.

    I don't even own an ipod.. the story just poped up on msn homepage. I thought it was a prank, who the hell would say "so you made a new game to go on our new ip.. Whats it called? Baby shaker.. thats great!"

    what a weird world.... =/

  • There is nothingbwrobg with killing someone In a VIDEO-GAME!!!! Seriously, why pull it off the Market?

  • It's not shaking a baby, that is an iPhone thats being shaken. Reality, video game.. can you spot the difference?

  • boo fucking hoo. I'm glad i got this app before they pulled it. I can't stop laughing its great

  • when im angry i take my anger out on a baby and shake it until it dies

  • Better to let people shake babies virtually than in real life. Sure there will be some people who think it's okay to shake babies in real life after using the app, but odds are those people were going to shake babies anyway regardless.

  • George Carlin is laughing in his grave

  • On The Canadian Television Channel CTV, They Showed Footage Of The Family That Has 1 Child Dead, Another Brain Damaged From A Syndrome Called "Baby Shaker Syndrome". To That Family. There Is No Such Thing As "Baby Shaker Syndrome"! It's Called ADD/ADHD! The Cure? Ritalin.

  • The game seems to have low production value, poor gameplay and is sold entirely on "shock value". Apple should not be publishing such poor games

  • New, from the makes of Baby Shaker, it's BABY RAPER. If you liked Baby Shaker, you'll LOVE Baby Raper! Only $0.99, for a limited time only.

  • You people need to stop overreacting to stupid nonsense! Sure harming a child is wrong. But is this any worse than if you watch a movie or a TV show showing a child getting killed or raped, or even when you show a video of a parent or a caretaker shaking a baby? NO, it's no worse or better. It's the same thing. Except that there is no real life looking baby being harmed at all.

  • i'm usually one of those assholes who thinks this sort of shit is funny cause its just a game but this was very fucked up that S.O.B. who wrote this app should get fired. sick bastered

  • that's killing babies, no it's not real, but anyone that likes or has this game, has a very sick and twisted mind! What if for every baby you killed in the game, they killed a real life baby? And, for most people, it will influence them to kill babies!

  • jsz1998 you are a moron if you think this will influence anyone to kill a baby. Just because you might be predisposed to do everything you see on television or in a video game does not mean that everyone has lacks a backbone as much as you do.

  • Most people in america don't have a backbone anymore and that's the problem. Besides, why are we all fighting about an opinion on a game? Why does everyone always point out the bad stuff and not the good stuff, huh?

  • "What if for every baby you killed in the game, they killed a real life baby?"

    And what if every time you killed a baby in the game, the sky turned green? Why are you inventing fictional scenarios to be outraged about?

  • actually that would be cool if the sky turned green

  • No, if anything it's the opposite way around. People who want to harm babies will get this app. People who have a child screaming in the back seat of a car will want to get this so that they don't actually harm a real child. I can see a lot of actual good that might come out of this. It might get their frustration out on the Ipod instead of the baby. There are a lot of good parents who have a one time snap. This might be a good way to actually protect a child.

  • Yeah, this game quite obviously sucks.

    But wait... If Apple removed this becaus of the offensive material... Then I guess that rules out any possibility of havin' Kitten Cannon on an iPhone.

    Unless iPhone gets a Flash capability in its browser, that is.

  • Let's shake the owners of Apple to death and see how they like it.

  • You are EVIL!!! You want to hurt an ACTUAL PERSON!! The makers of the Ipod app, never said you should harm a real baby. I agree with Bongwire 100%. I originally was against this app, but now it looks like a bunch of over protective yuppy parents are getting their panties in a bunch for no good reason whatsoever. When the Ipod Application tellls me that they want me to harm a child, then I'll be against it! But I'm not going to over react for some stupid application.

  • Right on, right on. Bongwyre has spoken the TRUTH!

  • The people at Apple are evil for marketing an iphone game that portrays violence against little children as a whimsical pasttime, and you're a complete jackass for condoning it -- have a good day.

  • The difference being that I don't actually want to see real people getting hurt, -=YOU DO=-

    The children in the Ipod App aren't real, they are fake.

    You need to get a grip on this thing called -REALITY-

    You want to kill real people. I don't.

    Nuff said, evil control freak.

    Next you'll be telling people that StarWard should be banned because it condones an entire planet being destroyed. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • I think it's ironic that you condone a game that promotes violence against children, yet you protest when someone suggests punishing those who made the game in the first place, in a like manner. The proposition to shake apple personnnel was meant to point out the lunacy of violence in all its forms - it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. Get a life.

  • Condone....hmm, well I don't condone the actual shaking of babies. I just don' t think it applies to a make believe baby.

    I'm just against this kind of thing because it all stems from "Games make people kill" nonsense that started with Doom and Grand theft Auto, or Dungeons and Dragons making people commit suicide. People have a fear in things that just don't really cause any real harm. You saying that you wanted to have people killed is much worse, even in jest.

  • And I think movies like Hostel are sick and stupid, I don't see anyone stopping that, and that's a thousand times worse!! People need to stop being control freaks and paranoid. If it is in someones heart to harm a child, no banning of an IPOD application is going to stop it! To think otherwise is just being over protective and paranoid. Not to mention control freak behavior. Is shaking a baby bad? YES! But no one is going to get "shake Baby lust" from playing an Application!

  • SICK SICK SICK i mean who in there right mind would go and make this application?????? Oh i know AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I dont see how this is bad its just a game and only stupid people with out common sense would think about trying this on an actual baby

  • ~UN AMUSING

    ~A MOCKERY OF CHILD ABUSE

    ~SAD

    ~DEPRESSING

    ~VICTIMFUL

    ~DISRESPECTFULL

    ~AND FINALLY....INCONSIDERATE TO THOSE WHO LOST CHILDREN TO THE "Baby Shaking Syndrome"

  • So instead of using logic to explain your beliefs, you will just use the loudest voice and cover up all other opinions?  Wow...that's mature. And intelligent.

    Luckily I, and many others, know that those with the loudest voice are usually the ones whom are incorrect -- hence they must compensate by being the loudest.

  • Comment removed

  • It's amazing how cowardly people become when they hide behind a computer screen spewing vularity.

    YES, there is a GOD and I hope you come to your senses and realize it.

    How sad your lives are.

    It's my turn to leave this discussion, it doesn't pay to converse with people who have no heart or good sense.

    Hopefully you will come to your senses (if U still have any) and realize the reality of GOD and living a truly happy & productive life, which includes not hating yourself and everybody else.

  • Right, because your belief in God is the only belief out there? Get over yourself. People who don't believe in God think you are a moron for believing in Him, and you think they are a moron for not. Both of you are ignorant for failing to understand that you are not the only person with an opinion in the world.

  • Um in case you didn't notice I wasn't trying to perpetuate my beliefs on anyone else. I was talking to the one psycho christian lady. I didn't say anyone else needed to believe what I believe, I was commenting on how she was doing just that.

  • The person who thought they were intelligent enough to create this game and the one who works at apple for allowing it to slip buy should be FIRED. Seriously this is like saying that having a game with a nagging inlaw and provoking them to murder them...is okay...

    DOWN WITH APPLE AND WHO EVER CREATED THIS GAME. YOU SUCK. CHILD ABUSE ISN'T OKAY.

  • Actually, that should be okay. It is a game... it isn't reality. Just because you don't like it or understand any humor in it (I personally don't and would never download it) doesn't mean other people don't and don't have a right to it. I do think having a nagging inlaw murdered would be hilarious and a good stress reliever.

    You people really are taking things far too seriously. If you don't like it don't download it, but don't presume to tell me I can't.

  • BUCE2008,

    THE ONLY THING I ENJOY ARE THEIR TERRORIST PLOTS BEING FOILED SO THERE WON'T BE ANOTHER 9/11.

    Most liberals are against this UNTIL it's THEIR loved ones who's life is in danger.

    Tell me BUCE, at what price would you extract info from a terrorist to save YOUR loved ones?

  • Haven't you people every heard of dead baby jokes? There are some sick fucks out there, and if they want to be sick, then let them. Who cares? its not like they are "shaking real babies" I think we are all well aware of the result of shaken baby syndrome. It was a joke, calm yourselves.

  • I'll tell U who laugh at this. People who have been DE-SENSITIZED by violent games, hip hop, goth and other meaningless forms of pitiful entertainment.

    People love seeing this who have sold their soul for a cheap laugh.

    They lack productivity, self-respect, fear of God and most of the time, they hate themselves.This is why many of them turn to body piercing & using their bodies for tattoo graffitti.

    What God had made beautiful, they turn it to ugly, both inside and outside.

    That's who.

  • fuck god, he is no one

  • Did you really just say that hip hop is pitiful entertainment? And God, REALLY? GOD. Do you think these people give a fuck about God or your damn opinion of them.?  Wake the fuck up, the world is desensitized. Tattoos are not grafitti, it is art as well as piercings. I'd like to poke my penis in your eye and pierce your damn ignorant brain with it.

  • SATAN IS COMING FOR YOU

    \m/ 666 \m/

    HELL

    FIRE

    BORN TO BE RELEASED

  • Wtf kind of bullshit is this? Sickening people, i tell you.

  • I totally agree with you. This is a sick application....I can't believe they allowed it on the damn marketplace let alone the phone
