A new app available for the iPod and iPad makes a game out of sneaking across the U.S. border. The game, "Smuggle Truck" shows a truck bouncing along a desert highway shedding men, women and children along the way. Developers say the game, which will be available next month, is a satirical swipe at the country's broken immigration system. Activists failed to the humour.
