A website based game called Miss Bimbo targets innocent children and attracts them about breast implants, pills, plastic surgeries and other celebrity-embraced points that are not appropriate for children who don't know the difference about games and real life.
Normally in our Parenting column we publish news stories that are related to the health of children and what tips can parents use to further improve the health and well being of their children. However this story is more like an alert to parents about a website for young girls starting at age 9 called Miss Bimbo game, which already has 200,000 children signed up in UK, attracted widespread condemnation and outraged many parents.
The point of Miss Bimbo game is to make child's doll more attractive including buying breast implants, pills and anything that would make a celebrity look nicer.
While Miss Bimbo looks like an ironic stab at Paris Hilton and other pill-popping, plastic-surgery-embracing, do-nothing celebs, it is a real game aimed at kids who will not know the difference. This is the part about Miss Bimbo that has outraged parents and educators.
Miss Bimbo was originally set up by Nicholas Jacquart, a French entrepreneur and has more than 1.2 million sign ups in France. He has now moved to London to launch the site here, which already as was mentioned before has more than 200,000 children playing it.
According to BBC Radio's News Beat "Miss Bimbo admitted that they are going to look again at whether it should be offering the option to buy a virtual boob job, but said that it had received no complaints from members about that aspect of the game."
In the meanwhile as a parent I would not like my children play Miss Bimbo game and will block it from my computer, while raising the issue in the school where my children go.
