Miss Bimbo: And the Game Critics Think GTA IV is Bad

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”
breast implants for 9-16 year olds…..
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 has a dick
I can’t believe someone spent 200 USD [100 Pounds] on this idiotic game…
HAYLEY I THINK YOU LEFT YOUR CAPS LOCK ON MIGHT WANNA LOOK INTO THAT OKAY!?!??!!
omgz mizz bimbo i can’t wait to bimbo it up hardcore
Seriously, a site like this should of been banned immediately.
Why don’t you try the game before you judge it
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 !!
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
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
The game is great!!!! I have been playing it for more than 10 dags now!
Umm, here’s a question. Since when would any self respecting parent prefer a game promoting racism, sex, and violence. Along with things like picking up prostitutes off the street and buying drugs and getting drunk. Oh and let’s not forget cop killing. Over your average real life simulation. Even if it is a bit more real than some would like to admit. Come on people, you can’t shield your kids forever. Oh and I may badmouth it seemingly, but I love GTA. I just say true things.
i agree with what people have said and i too have been playing the game for quite a while now and i seem to love it. i think that it should be aimed for 10 onwards because little kids do what they see but when your 10 you have the right mind and you can make decisions on whether you should follow in the footsteps of the game or should lead your normal life and be what you think you want to be and do what your good at.
every body is entitle to there own opinion and this is mine. thankyou.
I think this is a great game and I don’t see what the fuss is all about. you have to feed your bimbo and she has to go to work to get money and most of the stuff you do on the site well it happen in real life.
Jesus
You’d let your child play GTA before playing MissBimbo? Err.. have you actually played GTA?
You say kids are impressionable, and they may well develop eating disorders because of the MissBimbo game. How about GTA? They could start paying hookers for sex after playing that game. Or steal your neighbour’s car. Or knife someone on the street.
I think you need to take a step back and think about what’s more dangerous. A silly fashion game, or a game where you can beat someone to a pulp with a baseball bat.
Look I’m 15 and I have been on the site for a while , Its not that bad , honestly. Anyone under the age of 13 can’t acsess the forum and they just play the game. Nobody on the site takes it seriously , people have to remember it is just a game ! On the site they stress the point that the surgery is just part of the game. If people would just play the game they would realise that it isn’t bad at all. Anyway all this negative press is just informing people about the site and they all go try it. I know so many people who have joined because they read about it in the paper / on the net or in a magazine , thats how I heard about it
honestlty breast implants aren’t even a big part of the game and you can get a breast reduction as well , and your bimbo doesn’t need diet pills they are optional
for God sake people ,will U just stop criticising misss bimbo.Those parents who thinks miss bimbo is bad,then dont let your children play it then ,simple as that.I think bimbo is a good game.
