Online users who would like to virtually shove a nine-inch blade through someone's pancreas will be disappointed now that Slide has removed its Shank application from the Facebook site. According to a report published in PC Advisor, Shank was one of the "virtual activities" that Facebook users could use through the "Superpoke" application. But shank is also a slang term for stab, and the developer decided the app was in "poor taste." The app, which features a cartoon image of a knife, was originally designed as a lighthearted method for Facebook users to contact each other. Superpoke lets you wink, flirt with, hug and throw sheep at other people on Facebook - virtually, of course. But now that Slide has removed Shank, you can no longer stab your friends (or enemies) online through SuperPoke.
