Lil miss bimbo1/7/2024 Since the media firestorm, the site has been temporarily inoperative, with the following statement, among others, on the main page: They are easily influenced at that age as to what is cool and these are not things they should be encouraged to aspire to before they are old enough to be making up their own minds.” “I noticed them looking at possible breast operations and facelifts at the game’s plastic surgery clinic…It is irresponsible of the sites creators to be leading young girls astray. Nick Williams, from Shrewsbury, Shropshire, said that he was appalled when he saw his daughters Katie, 9, and Sarah, 14, on the site pondering whether to buy their character breast operations and facelifts. Yet The Times also reported that the site was perhaps simply a reflection of an already existing reality, as its introduction came as research showed that children as young as six were developing acute eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, and increasing numbers of teenagers were undergoing breast enlargement surgery. Founders of the site admit that the story in the script for the game had been created by “lads” and no professional advice was sought about how girls may interpret issues surrounding weight loss and gain. Level 17: There is a billionaire on vacation…You must catch his eye and his love! Good luck!Īccording to The Times of London, healthcare professionals, a parents’ group and an organization representing people suffering from anorexia and bulimia criticized the website for sending a dangerous message to impressionable children. Level 11: Bigger is better! Have a breast operation. You want to turn heads on the beach, don’t you? Level 10: Summertime is coming up and bikini weather is upon us. To gain those vivacious curves, you need to weigh more than 154lbs. Level 9: Have a nip and tuck operating for a brand new face. Level 7: After you broke up with your boyfriend you went on an eating binge! Now it’s time to diet…Your target weight is less than 132lbs. The goal of the game is to keep a constant watch on the weight, wardrobe, wealth and happiness of their character to create “the coolest, richest and most famous bimbo in the world.” Participants compete with other children to earn “bimbo dollars” which are then used for plastic surgery, diet pills, facelifts, lingerie and fashionable nightclub outfits. The French version of the site boasts 1.2 million players. Aimed at girls age nine to sixteen, the site attracted 200,000 members during its first month of operation in Britain.
