The new “Miss Bimbo” Web site was launched in the UK last month and
it has already attracted numerous children players. It is specially designed
for girls and here they are given a naked virtual character to look after or to
see it as their own reflection. “Bimbo” dollars are the reward for a good-looking
female character, dressed in sexy outfits.
They are encouraged to use “plastic surgery” to give their
dolls bigger breasts, or to use diet pills to keep their character’s weight in
perfect shape. The prices for a perfect image vary; for perfect weight one has
to pay 100 bimbo dollars and provide diet pills, a breast implant is more
expensive, about 11,500 bimbo dollars. In bimbo world, a billionaire boyfriend
is the easiest way to win some virtual dollars.
“Miss Bimbo” has a French sister, named “Ma Bimbo,” which has
received criticism from parents and dieticians. A parent threatened to sue
Bimbo game’s creators after his daughter ran up a $200 mobile bill sending
texts without his permission. Parents are worried about their children, who
receive dangerous messages about eating disorders and plastic surgery. They
consider the creators are irresponsible and they violate children’s rights.
Nicholas Jacquart, a 23-year-old Web designer, is the
creator of the Miss Bimbo site. He insisted it was not a bad influence on
children. “They learn to take care of their bimbos,” he said, the Daily Mail
reports. “The breast operations are just one part of the game and we are not
encouraging young girls to have them, just reflecting real life,” he added.
