I agree that the app is disgusting however I disagree that the post is off-topic. The article questions the iTunes App Store approval process and brings to attention this particularly striking example. It raises questions about censorship, taste and free speech. All things I believe HN readers find interesting. The disappointing thing for me is that I had considered working with a child-abuse prevention agency to develop an application which simulates the effect of shaken baby syndrome (similar to physical dolls which do the same) as a tool for educators, physicians, law enforcement officers, etc. Now the chances of such an app being approved are most likely zero.
