And others noted that the bare Bimbo that a player starts out with is slender, long-legged and dressed in her skivvies. Breast implants to keep one’s pet Bimbo well endowed ignited further conversation. Of the many charged issues that come with Miss Bimbo game play, it seemed that media pundits were most focused on the diet pills available for purchase to keep one’s Bimbo thin (they have since been removed from the game). A post on the Miss Bimbo homepage cites “unforeseen worldwide interest” as the reason for the site’s inability to load. At the time of writing this story, the game was inoperable. Traffic has since dipped as the press frenzy has died down. However, the creators of "Miss Bimbo" claim it is "harmless fun.Robin Goad, research director of Hitwise in Britain, a company that collects Internet usage data internationally, said British traffic to the site increased a hundredfold between March 22 and 25. They are easily influenced at that age as to what is cool." "Katie is far too young for that kind of thing and it is irresponsible of the site's creators to be leading young girls astray. Williams, 42, an accountant, said: "I noticed them looking at possible breast operations and facelifts for their bimbos at the game's plastic surgery clinic. Nick Williams said he was appalled when he saw his daughters Katie, nine, and Sarah, 14, playing the game. One parent also told The Times the creators were irresponsible. Then the game becomes a hazard and a menace." "But the danger is that a nine-year-old fails to appreciate the irony and sees the Bimbo as a cool role model. He said: "It is one thing if a child recognizes it as a silly and stupid game. Parents' groups are horrified that the game is taking off in Britain, fearing it could send the wrong message about eating disorders and plastic surgery to young girlsīill Hibberd, of parents' rights group Parentkind, told the Times the game sends a dangerous message to young girls. In France, where "Miss Bimbo's" sister Web site, "Ma Bimbo," was criticized by dieticians and parents when it began last year, one parent threatened the creators with legal action after his daughter ran up a $200 mobile bill sending texts without his knowledge, according to the Times of London newspaper.

The British version already has nearly 200,000 players, most of whom are girls aged between 7 and 17, according to the Web site.Īlthough it is free to play, when the contestants run out of virtual dollars they have to send cell phone text messages costing $3 each or use PayPal to top up their accounts. The advice on feeding the dolls is even more spurious, encouraging them to feed the dolls "every now and then" even though they want to keep their Bimbos "waif thin." To earn some bimbo cash you will have to (gasp) work or find a boyfriend to be your sugar daddy and hook you up with a phat expense account!" The site says: "Bimbo dollars is 'the cabbage,' 'bread,' the 'mula' you'll need to buy nice things and to get by in bimbo world. Working, it seems, is a bit of a chore in bimbo world.
When a girl signs up, they are given a naked virtual character to look after and pitted against other girls to earn "bimbo" dollars so they can dress her in sexy outfits and take her clubbing. Girls are encouraged to compete against each other to become the "hottest, coolest, most famous bimbo in the whole world." The provocatively named "Miss Bimbo" Web site launched in the UK last month and is described as a "virtual fashion game for girls." LONDON, England (CNN) - A Web site that encourages girls as young as seven to give virtual dolls breast implants and put them on crash diets has caused concern among parents and children's activists.
