The latest in online games for girls is Miss Bimbo: Virtual Fashion Game!. Think of it as a “Paris Hilton” simulator aimed at 9-16 year old girls. This is basically a Tamagochi-style MMO where you care for and groom your Bimbo avatar to be the most popular, coolest bimbo ever. You’ll power-up by carefully nurturing her eating disorder with diet pills and giving her breast implants. Grinding is achieved by scoping out rich boy-toys to leech off of.

The game is free to play although in-game currency can be won from other players or purchased with real cash through Paypal or text messages costing £1:50 a pop. According to Games Radar, one French girl has already run up a £100 bill.

I know that this game is meant to be satire, but I wonder how many girls realize that. I would sooner let my daughters play GTA IV than Miss Bimbo. It’s exposing young girls to some very unhealthy ideals at a highly impressionable age. The violence in the GTA series is much further removed from reality. The pressure teens are put under every day to be accepted is bad enough. This appears to play like a guide to popularity that can be taken literally, to the detriment of girls’ self esteem and well-being.

    How/where do you get "aimed at 9-16 year olds"

  • freak says:

    breast implants for 9-16 year olds….. :shock:

    So i was thinking about rolling a new toon on Miss Bimbo. Does anyone know about end-game, and how much Diet-Pill spec'd is needed? My alternative is Breast-Implant spec'd. Are these good choices? Should I go with something else? Are the current raids overpopulated with these specs? How big are the end-game raids? I'm assuming at least 40-man to compete with WoW, but it'd be nice to know how many I should start looking for before getting there.

  • Hayley says:

    :evil: THIS GAME SHOULD NOT BE ON THE NET FOR ANY ONE TO PLAY. I WOULD NOT LIKE MY DAUGHTER TO BE PLAYING THIS GAME WHEN SHE IS OLDER. IT SHOULD BE BANNED FROM THE NET CAUSE ITS GIVING YOUNG CHILDREN THE WRONG IDEA ABOUT GOING TO GET BREAST INPLANTS DONE AS WELL AS OTHER SURGERY. THE TWO YOUNG GUYS THAT MADE THIS GAME SHOULD BE FINED. ALSO I THINK THESE GUYS ARE SEX PERVERTS

    Seriously, a site like this should of been banned immediately.

  • TooCrooked says:

    anyone screaming about "banning sites" needs to be shot. there's a lot worse out there that kids can get their hands on.

    it is always ultimately up to the parent to control their child's influences. if they had a strong upbringing, even having come across this site, their MORALS should prevent them from being influenced in any way by it (to even play it).

    this game is obviously satire. if your kids are dumb enough to be influenced by this, and you as their parent didn't do everything in your power to prevent their access to this site, e.g. not letting them hang out at friends houses who have questionable morals, your child will be poisoned by your hand.

    the internet isn't a disneyland. so control your kids. stop trying to infringe on other peoples right to expression.

    its an awesome website i recomend it to be for the age of 5-10 children !! :mrgreen:

  • julie says:

    im a member on this game and it is very fun and for you info people the diet pills have bin took of and ive been a member for 4 years

  • Bethany says:

    I firmly believe that blaming ONE site is radical. Before Miss Bimbo came about someone was always placing the blame somewhere else. It comes down to the parent. You can raise your children to be the best with honesty and all good morals but what happens at school or at a friends house isn't controlled. There will always be peer pressure. Peer pressure not only from friends and family, but in a sense from the media i.e. television, magazines, internet. Unfortunately you can only protect them so far.

    I have been playing Miss Bimbo for almost a year and children are smart enough to recognize that being too thin and getting breast implants isn't for them. Like I said the key word is "GAME". It's like having a paper doll only you feed her steak and chips, soda, ice cream and so on. She has her own pet she cares for and uses the library and goes dancing with her friends. I will not fully condone everything about it, but do realize something like this should be aimed at the older teenagers and the 18+ crowd. I do love the game and feel that everyone should be blaming it. Parents need to tell their children right from wrong and monitor their television and internet all together. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I appreciate this time to tell my side.

    Thank you
