But I don’t think it’s the kind of healthy reality parents want children exposed to,” she says. “In their defence the creators have described the game as reflecting real life. “The message is that you have to look a certain way – to get to a higher level in the game you have to have a boob job, and to get to another level you have to go on a crash diet to lose more weight after your boyfriend dumps you.
“It is an unfortunate development that people are profiting from lowering the selfesteem of young girls,” she says. “There is a cash element to this game as players have to pay for texts when they get to a certain level, and it is very habit-forming and addictive,” says Ruth NiEidhin, communications officer with Bodywhys, The Eating Disorders Association of Ireland. Girls as young as eight or nine can access the site – the site states players under 18 must have their parents’ permission, but this is easily avoided by lying about age. Stop at nothing to become the reigning bimbo!”Īnd it also suggests that bimbo’s future happiness is guaranteed when she “meets a billionaire on vacation, catches his eye and his love”. The site extols: “Even resort to meds or plastic surgery. Meanwhile, players are also guided towards booking their bimbo in for some facial cosmetic surgery as part of the game. “After you broke up with your boyfriend, you went on an eating binge! Now it’s time to diet,” is the website’s advice.Īt one point, diet pills were being advised as the quick route for Miss Bimbo to shed her postbreak- up pounds.Īnd it’s not long afterwards that young players are being advised that their bimbo needs to improve her figure – by having breast enhancement surgery because “big is best”. 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”. My newest edit, for a contest :D results later.CHILDHOOD innocence is about as precious a thing as life offers. i will probably come back to hers once i feel a little better. Salamandragold was holding a contest to edit her pants, i thought she meant, make ur own pants. its ok, kept me occupied for 10 minutes or so. and i was feeling a little bored, so i decided to join, the messed up thing, i misread the rules. pretttty bad.Īnyway, while awake tonite, i came across an edit contest.
