Sick girl’s site Bimbo offline
p2pnet news Kids & Kartels | Games:- Miss Bimbo, the repulsive British online ‘game’ for young girls, was, thankfully, offline at 10:50 Pacific, today —- permanently, I hope.
“Welcome to Miss Bimbo,” said the site when it was still up. “Become the most famous, beautiful, sought after bimbo across the globe!
“Date that famous hottie you’ve had your eye on and show the Bimbo world the social starlet you are !
“Even resort to meds or plastic surgery. Stop at nothing to become the reigning bimbo !”
Made by 23-year-old Nicolas Jacquart from London and pumped up by Chris Evans, it’s aimed at girls aged nine to 17, possibly their most impressionable age span.
Everything about it is/was dangerous.
“It is a game,” said Evans, “you create your character and you can choose whether to give your character a boob job.”
Boob job?
The ‘meds’ are diet pills but because of the outrage Bimbo generated, Jacquart was forced to remove the section.
My daughter, Emma, who’s 11, originally pointed the site out to me and yesterday, “Due to unforseen worldwide interest in Miss Bimbo we have had difficulty in maintaining our game in the manner players have become accustomed,” it said, continuing >>>
We are sorry for this inconvenience and can assure you that our game will be up and running as soon as possible.
As a result of this rather surprising media attention we have decided to remove the option of purchasing diet pills from the game. We apologise to any players whom this may inconvenience but we feel in light of this weeks proceedings it is the correct action to take.
We would also like to sincerely apologise to our players for the media comparison of Miss Bimbo and Paris Hilton. We feel that this does a dis-service to the players whom send their bimbos to university, tea parties or chess tournaments.”
But Jacquart just couldn’t resist displaying the same kind of sick humour which no doubt prompted him to build the site in the first place.
“At this time we would also like to remind players that the Miss Bimbo team assume no responsibility or liability for any fashion faux pas, hair style disasters or boob jobs incurred in real life as as a result of playing the Miss Bimbo game,” says the site.
Stay tuned.

That’s bad news. Bimbo is lower than whale excreta.
Cheers!

Is it worse than letting young boys play grand theft auto (or pretty much any of the titles in the Rockstar catalog)?
The argument is that when boys are exposed to antisocial themes in violent games, it has little or no effect on their real-world behavior. I believe bimbo falls into the same category of games. Simple explanations are fine, if you’re happy with a simple understanding.

This game is just satire.

I wouldn’t be worried about this game. I would be worried about the people who inspired these guys to make the game. And the media outlets that publish them. When i.e. Paris screws around they print massive tabloids about it, but when your kid can do it in a fantasy setting it’s just horrible.

@ Reader’s Write 2, its not teh same as Rockstar games, and specifically GTA, first of all, the characters in Bimbo Online are meant to be a representation of ones self, and it is marketed to girls as young as 9. GTA is rated 18+ and AO. As well as that, in GTA and in most games players are playing the role of another character, usually not themselves, its like being in a story about someone else, versus creating a character based on yourself and modifying them blah blah. Yeah either way though, it is just a video game, and not a very fun sounding one at that I doubt it’ll have any real impact on the population of girls aged 9-17 in any country in the world.

The fact is that there is nothing wrong with taking diet pills, either in a game or in real life. The problem is when you go too far with those diet pills. Frankly, my cousin was accused of being a bulimic or anorexic, until I told the doctors “Listen, she eats like a PIG and I am with her most of the day…. there is no way she is purging or anything, she just NATURALLY is efficient at burning calories!”
