iPhone App Spanks Your Frenemies

Worst iPhone app ever.

Of all the strange, quirky stuff we’ve seen in the iPhone’s App Store, this one takes the cake: An application that enables you to virtually spank your friends, family or coworkers.

The design of the app is shockingly stupid: You snap a photo of a person, then it displays a bubble above him or her that says “Spank.” Then when you shake the iPhone you hear the sound of a spank, followed by a man yelping.

The app costs $1. (Please don’t buy it.) There’s a similar one in the App Store called Spank the Monkey, which does the same thing, only it costs $5 and you’re spanking cartoon monkeys rather than humans.

A hat tip to iPhone app review site Krapps for stumbling upon this.

My question of the day: How the hell did this get approved in the App Store?
