Google has removed a controversial app from its Android Marketplace called "Is My Son Gay?" after severely negative press and a petition of 37,692 signatures from an online activist group. The Android app, created by a gay software developer, was satirical and "asked" mothers silly questions to determine whether or not their son is gay.

If you have a son or daughter around six or seven, you may have already heard about Club Penguin. Club Penguin is a virtual world (think Second Life) for little kids. Kids choose and name a penguin character to act as their avatar as they move around the Club Penguin site and play games to earn coins. These coins can be exchanged for clothing and other items. The site says it’s for kids 8-14. There are 700,000 paying members worldwide and over 5,000,000 visitors per month.
