    An app that promotes stabbing? It's actually a photo of a kitchen knife that would play the music from the infamous "Psycho" shower scene when users simulate a stabbing motion with their phone. But the app sparked controversy. According to UK's The Sun, the app was released during a crime-wave of teen stabbings in the country and citizens felt it promoted violence. Regardless, the app sold 10 million downloads during its first week, according to the paper.
