years old and I know that so of the stuff is not right. But if kids that play this game cant see the difference between a game and real life then they need help. Or maybe they are just to young to play this game. There is nothing wrong with miss bimbo...I love it. Ok well I play miss bimbo all the time. I am

I don't know what's more disturbing. That a site like this exists and is frequented by young girls or that the creator thinks this is a reflection of reality. Pa-lease....

Treespeed, I agree with you, it's up to parents to teach their kids values, not to become bimbos etc...but, don't you also agree that sometimes our culture and the media permeates little girls (and little boys) minds in ways that cannot be thwarted by good intending parents? It still remains an issue, to me anyway, why someone would want to create a site/game such as this, how a game like this could even become this popular, what problems it points to in our society, and what-if anything-we can do to help change it. Obviously making money is a top priority for the inventor.

I don't think people are blaming the site for making their girls want to get boob jobs and take diet pills (or maybe some are), I think parents are concerned with the fact that there even exists a game such as this. Or that a young man would create a game like this for children. I mean, don't you think that's gross?

I do wonder how/why any parent would let their child near this game in the first place though. What??

I think too that there is something to be said for kids constantly being confronted with the same types of images, over and over again, be it "US" magazines that litter ever grocer, or television advertising (which is why I don't have cable), or kids friends, or movies, or just walking down the street...just the general media which unfortunately saturated with negative gender stereotypes. Is it not? It becomes difficult to steer girls in the right direction, to instill positive body image, when all of the world, it seems, is saying otherwise.

Wow, can you say free advertising. There will probably be 300,000 players a week from now. If you haven't taught your kids that bimbos like Paris Hilton are not good role models then it's not going to be an online game that pushes them over the edge.

This reminds me of the folks who wanted to blame heavy metal for kids becoming serial killers. If your kids are so fragile that some lone kid's game is going to corrupt them what are you going to do when they get out in the real world and encounter "Us Weekly"?

The kid, who created this, actually has a facebook account-in case any of you parents out there want to send him a message. I did.

www.facebook.com/s.php

If that didn't work, you can google "nicolas jacquart", or put his name into the search on facebook.

He's quite young, and perhaps just ignorant of how hurtful his creation is. I say come at him with education, not anger. At first anyway. Perhaps he'll change his mind about things??
