Miss Bimbo Internet Game Angers Parents

There's a new game in England and France that will surely be arriving in America soon, if not already. The game is for girls ages 9 to 16 and is essentially an online competition in which each registered player is given a "Bimbo" to take care of - a sort of virtual paper doll. According to the rules, the goal is to make your bimbo the "hottest of the hot bimbos" which involves dating a "famous hottie," "becoming a socialite and starlet, " and "skyrocketing" to the top of fame and popularity," "even resorting "to meds or plastic surgery." The game is angering parents and experts who believe  the game is giving young girls an unhealthy look at womanhood and could put them at risk for eating disorders. What do you think?

I think it is all in good fun.  Young boys play violent video games and the problems mostly come in when the parents do not do a good job teaching their children the right from wrong and fantasy from reality.  If the blame is placed on games like that, it shows those girls that are influenced would be just as influenced by seeing the people that are in the public eye that go to rehab, get implants and forget their panties.  The important thing is for the parents to know what their children are doing and make sure that they understand it is not reality.
Also, I went to the website and it says that they are removing the option to purchase diet pills.
