How can I say with such certainty that the app&#8217;s description, which claims that &#8220;shaking the slippery fish&#8221; is a &#8220;great ice-breaker&#8221;, is really just full-on fish masturbation simulator? (Aside from the fact that it&#8217;s called &#8220;Fishbate?&#8221;) Cue the developer&#8217;s glorious PR pitch, which landed in my inbox this morning:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Hello John,<\/p>\n<p>I was wondering if you were interested in downloading my first app on the app store.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s called &#8220;fishbate&#8221;, and the goal is to masturbate a floppy fish. There are squishy sounds to coincide with the visuals.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I have tried this app. I can confirm these things: When you shake your phone, you are treated to a horrific, wet slurping sound, and as you approach the 50-shake &#8220;climax&#8221;, the frequency of vibration increases. Once you meet the goal, the fish spews pale white liquid from its head (resident fish dick enthusiast Joel Johnson assures me this is called &#8220;milt&#8221;) and dies, according to the ensuing notification windows. I can also confirm that, while you may laugh during the process, you&#8217;ll feel pretty bad the second it&#8217;s all over.<br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\ngawkerGallery(5451061,3,'');\n<\/script><br \/>\nSo, Apple, just to be clear: It&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5446287\/apple-its-time-to-delete-safari-from-the-iphone\">not OK<\/a> to release an image browser app that can <em>potentially<\/em> be used to view porn, among other images, but it <em>is<\/em> OK to release an app in which you pleasure a fish until it ejaculates.
