Playing with Dolls or Daddy's Wallet?

I don't know about anyone else, but when I played with dolls as a child, it involved feeding them with a bottle, changing their diapers and wheeling them around in their pram while I played Mommy.

Today however, I grudgingly introduce you to a new online game; Miss Bimbo, which teaches young girls from the ages of 7-16 that girls need breast implants (cost:11,500 bimbo dollars,) facelifts and diet pills (cost:100 bimbo dollars) for their crash diets.

When buying breast implants for the doll, the player nets 2,000 "bimbo attitudes," which increases her popularity on the site.

While the game is competitive between players, it has the benign description: "a virtual fashion game for girls," with the object of the game to ensure that your "doll" becomes the "hottest, coolest, most famous bimbo in the whole world,"(Monica Lewinski?) with such sage advice as:

"stop at nothing" or even to buy "meds or plastic surgery" in order to win the Bimbo beauty game.

Securing a billionaire boyfriend is also rewarded with the all important 'bimbo dollars,' perhaps in order to get what? A tummy tuck?

I sincerely hope I'm not the only person appalled by this.

A child must first sign up with the web site, which then allows the game to begin by giving the new player a naked, virtual doll. While competing in various ways, "bimbo dollars" are earned and spent to buy sexy outfits for the doll.

The child is also able to spend the money by taking her doll clubbing.

There are numerous tasks given to the player which include plastic surgery or breast implants at the game's clinic. The child must also give her doll the diet pills which keeps her to her "goal weight."

Aside from all the pink, this is what first caught my eye on the Miss Bimbo web site:

» 2112 online players at the present time and 213 608 registered Bimbos!

Very nice.

Although initially the game is free to play with one's Bimbo dollars, once the virtual cash has run out, the child is expected to top their account up via PayPal or, to send text messages at a cost of £1.50 or, US$3.00.

Remember, that these are children as young as 7!
