On reaching level seven in the game, they are challenged on how best “bimbo” can deal with being dumped by her boyfriend. So what do impressionable teen girls – or boys – get to do with their sexed-up virtual bimbo? Instead, this virtual doll has Pamela Anderson proportions, pouting lips and a come-hither expression, and is dressed like a male fantasy Lolita in girly undies and thighhigh socks. Miss Bimbo is a sexbomb who relegates Barbie and the Bratz dolls to plastic cutedom. So parents are naturally super vigilant about what children can access on the internet, and a growing number are becoming increasingly concerned over a new website, The website invites players to adopt a virtual doll called Miss Bimbo, and join in a competition to see who can have the “most trendsetting bimbo in town”. In France, where the game first launched, the site has attracted a million users.CHILDHOOD innocence is about as precious a thing as life offers. Miss Bimbo requires parents to register for girls under age 13.
"What about the Sudoku challenges? What about loving your bimbo? What about taking care of your bimbo sending it to university?" "It just seem to be some journalists who picked up on one or two areas of it and completely ignored all the positives," said Evans. They also note players are also offered positive games to play.
"It tells you that a balanced diet is a plate of vegetables which is clearly nonsense and it tells you that cereal bars make you fat, they are not messages we should be giving to young children," she said.īut, Nicholas Jacquart and Chris Evans, the makers of Miss Bimbo, defend the game as satire. Similarly Dee Dawson, a UK-based eating disorder expert, said the game's messages are inappropriate. "The message is clear and simple: a girl's value is in her looks, and if you're not happy with it then fix the way you look, and that's the only way you'll be happy," she said. Psychologist Linda Papadopoulos said the site offers girls a troubling solution. "We apologise to any players whom this may inconvenience, but we feel in light of this week's proceedings, it is the correct action to take. "As a result of this rather surprising media attention, we have decided to remove the option of purchasing diet pills from the game," said a statement posted on the site, which also noted they were trying to fix operational difficulties owing to increased traffic. The ultimate goal of the game is to attract a virtual billionaire boyfriend. Players shop for lingerie, strive to reach a target weight and can use reward money deemed "bimbo bucks" to pay for breast enhancements and - until this past weekend - diet pills. The game encourages players to create a character that will "become the most famous and beautiful bimbo in the world."
