‘Baby Shaker’ iPhone Game Sparks Outrage (see 0:36 to 1:08):

Dom: “So this is an application designed for President Obama when he was running for office…”

[voiceover] Independent developer Dom Sagolla helped build the iPhone App for the Obama campaign, and says ‘Baby Shaker’ needed to be pulled.

Dom: “I wasn’t too impressed, and the concept itself is a little bit distasteful actually. I have a toddler, so I wouldn’t use that app.

There’s a certain expectation with the iPhone platform. It’s an expectation of quality, it’s an expectation of a certain experience. We as developers try to trust Apple to help us make the right decisions.”

We’re grateful to AP Video Journalist Haven Daley for his responsible reporting.
