Miss Bimbo removes diet pills and issues apologies

Miss Bimbo

A new message filled with apologies is displayed to people who visit the controversial Miss Bimbo site. The Miss Bimbo creators have an official apology for the recent difficulties many users have had in accessing the site and playing the game. They also have removed diet pills from the game, stating that the media attention has caused them to reconsider that in-game option, and apologizes to the users for the removal of this feature. Finally, they apologize to users for various media outlets comparing the game to the socialite Paris Hilton, making mention of the users who choose to make their bimbos into classy ladies. There is a button after the apology that you can click to state you have read it, and then the site returns to its normal programming.

As you may remember, Gamertell reported earlier that the Miss Bimbo game was getting quite a bit of media attention for the use of plastic surgery, diet pills and other unsavory means to create the ultimate, most popular, bimbo diva. Many parent groups and media outlets are causing quite an uproar about the game.

I finally had the chance to register and create an account at Miss Bimbo, and I have to say that all of this controversy is caused by a few choice elements. Most of these stories ignore the fact that these virtual bimbos can also take classes to better themselves, attend college, It is a virtual pet game that is very focused on images and appearances, but it isn’t going to do any more damage to little girls than Barbie or Bratz dolls. Yes, there is plastic surgery and there were diet pills, but they aren’t forced on you. Parents just need to be involved in their kids’ lives and monitor their online activities.

    Hi Paige -

    Well, sometimes if a game has a controversial aspect, people and the media are eager to overlook the good and focus on the one possible negative. You do make some good points though.
