Baby Shaker App Controversy

Now Apple is under fire for approving a rather controversial app, despite all its stringent checking. The Baby Shaker app has users shaking the phone till the baby has red crosses over its eyes, and it certainly going to be very offensive to many people. An Apple statement apologizing over the event reads:
