Lots of morons who perhaps consider it good sense of humor call it awesome and award multiple stars to this app making it appear well-received by users in the rankings and 2. it is possible to accidentally buy it from iTunes since the password is saved for 1-click purchases (I presume most people do the same). I feel that the voice of at least those of us who did the same was heard by Apple.

So someone is going to be tempted to buy just because of all the curiousity. The person who made it is smart. All it takes is one person to buy it to get his money back and to make a little profit.
