Someone at apple QC really dropped the baby on this one...

[triumphant cracker]

no shit..what kind of moron would actually make this a game??

[JKDS]

awesome game imo.

i see no problems with it so long as the person playing isnt 4yrs old.

replaced with the very boring "salt shaker" game

why are people always trying to ruin other peoples fun?

Recently Ive noticed that I have become way more sympathetic towards the "victims" in these stories.. and whenever I notice it, it makes me sick to my stomach to think that Im "growing up."

How do I reverse this terrible "growing up" process that I seem to be going through?

shake a baby, and realise how utterly enjoyable it is. perhaps.

as almost always, do more drugs.

seriously.

The argument here:

I being a young male adult, who found it funny to shake a baby on an i-phone to get the little fucker to stop crying, will continue finding it funny when shaking my own son or daughter.

I being a young male adult won't understand the difference between shaking an infant and shaking my i-phone.

I as a young male adult also have a hard time not running around with an AK-47 and shooting people and not understanding why they don't get up like they do in them video games.

I as a young male adult also have a hard time not pulling my buddies spine and skull out of his dizzied body every time I punch him in the head enough times to cause him to be "knocked out on his feet."

Same shitty video game violence argument, new application.

There is no way an iphone game will increase, nor decrease the number of shaken baby incedents, ever.

I'm not proud of it, but I've been ready to shake my daughter before. Thank god my wife was there to get up and take care of her, when I realized that I was *that* frustrated. Believe me, the trigger response that made me that angry was NOT from playing violent video games.

All that having been said. Not a fan of the game, not my cup of tea, and I wasn't impressed when I saw it in action. Shaking babies is abhorrent. But what the fuck people. Don't blame peoples mistakes on anything other than the person making the mistake.

This. Too many opinions causes cancer.

[flomo]

jyms likes his babies stirred, not shaken

[a500lbgorilla]

which is funny becuase when you shake a baby, you release all its flavors. Stirring them does nothing but swirl their tiny bodies around.

like a polaroid picture
