Would you be asking people to boycott a Symbian or Windows Mobile phone (neither of which have markets as tightly controlled as the iPhone, so have no mechanism where the manufacturers can pull apps like this) if someone sold an app that did the same thing? What about PCs? Plenty of sick applications and games on those, and no mechanism to control their release.
The app is sick and should be banned, I agree. It has been banned, and I think you need to get some perspective.

Well to be fair, Apple needs to test and double check that the app is ok - I think they test it on 5 devices, but really they should double check before letting it be published.
