New online game encourages crash diets, breast implants and diet meds to make their dolls fabulous.
As the video game industry awaits the public reaction for the next 'Grand Theft Auto' game, CNN Europe reports that a new Web site game called Miss Bimbo encourages pre-teen and teenage girls to seek crash diets, breast implants and medications to enhance their dolls. While the description sounds familiar to fans of the fashion world, girls as young as 7 sign up with the Miss Bimbo site and get a naked doll. From there, they're encouraged to enhance characters with sexy outfits and other items in order to get them ready to go out clubbing. The goal is to stay wafer thin, eating every once in a while.
Already derided in the UK after it's short one-month existence, Miss Bimbo has gained the evil eye of parents who are beginning to wake up to some of the messages that the game encourages, ones which many parents don't agree with. While the game is free, each user has a limited amount of "virtual money," which is only remedied by the user sending a $3 text message, working, or finding a billionaire "sugar daddy" to help with funding.
With roughly 200,000 users in Britain and a new French version, it seems like its only a matter of time before the game that proclaims itself as a "virtual fashion for girls" comes to U.S. shores.

this is hilarious.
Instead of a bimbo game, how about a game on learning the english language? I'm commenting on the grammar of this sentence from tall37 on 3/26/2008 3:48 pm ,who wrote Look over their! It's 2 Bimbos, and there walking to they're cars! It is look over there! and they're walking to their cars.
its just a game GET IT
this "game" and i use the term loosely - should be eradicated from the web and further more its creators paraded around town for the parents of the children its grotesque influence has cast its shadow over to throw rotten food at them!! seriously, in this day and age we need to focus young minds on the positive aspects of thier minds. bodies and souls - not tell them that are things they should want to mutilate and change. telling someone something is "wrong" on the outside is telling them something is wrong on the inside - its a very wierd form of bullying. in a day where people fear to leave their front doors in case theyre kicked to death by vicious youngs shouldnt we help our children learn about the good things in life? the things worth fighting for - for learning to love yourself so that you can have some sort of compassion for others - yeah its a tenuous link but telling young people theyre ugly will make them behave ugly!
Look over their! It's 2 Bimbos, and there walking to they're cars!

People are outraged by this when you've got games celebrating ghetto drug dealer lifestyles, mass murder, etc. Give me an F'n break people. You think young girls aren't exposed to more pressure at school than they would ever get from playing a game spoofing absurdities of every day life?
why are seven year old logging onto anything? supervision, parents, supervision!!!
Its a game and nothing more, I think its funny and signed up for it. What the issue here is the parents are not watching what theyre children are doing.
Not every person who gets implants are Bimbos. I got them at age 30 after having 4 kids. I went from a C cup to an A cup after Breatfeeding. I felt horrible. I just wanted them the way they were before I had kids. I didn't do it to make them huge, I did it for me and my confidence.
