The new web browser game which is teaching girls the way to be happy is through diet pills and plastic surgery is generating quite a stir. Ars technica has the story.
Unsurprisingly, the game is generating an increasing amount of controversy, thanks in large part to the fact that it's being marketed towards young women. The purpose of Miss Bimbo is for players to create a virtual "bimbo," help her maintain an ideal appearance (with the help of diet pills and plastic surgery, of course), then buy her presents and send her out partying in order to compete with other players.
Due to media attention, they have since removed the option to buy diet pills in the game as it states on the Miss Bimbo homepage:
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.
