It was approved in January of this year (thanks Apple). The point of the app is to scare your friends and mums by concealing unspeakable horrors behind some cute swipe-activated purring kittens. It makes grown men weep*, and works even better if you can trick your prey into listening through headphones.</p> <p>And now our devilish, <a href="http://tr.im/hallokitty">best Hallowe’en app ever</a> can be yours. Follow <a href="http://www.twitter.com/hallokittyftw">@hallowkittyftw</a> for free promo codes this weekend, “because you shouldn’t have to pay $0.99 for this pap”.**</p> <p><em>*Possibly with laughter. **US store only though, Apple’s rules.</em></p>http://matthewbuchanan.name/post/228457662http://matthewbuchanan.name/post/228457662Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:03:00 +1300applicationhalloweenhorroriphonehumour<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ks17l9n5Jf1qz6f9yo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://littlewhitebat.blogspot.com/2009/07/vvon-krolock.html"><em>V.
