It's a new Internet game that challenges players to become the biggest bimbo. Bimbos start with an I.Q. of 70 as they journey to be the most beautiful in hopes of landing a billionaire husband.
Your bimbo starts nearly naked. But, the possibilities for a couture wardrobe are endless…superficial virtual world that has Toledo Psychiatrist Dr. Tim Valko furious.
"I just had a patient. One of her friends taught her how to vomit to lose weight so they would be attractive for other boys in her class. And she's in the fourth grade,” said Valko.
Nine years old and flirting with bulimia. It’s a very serious eating disorder that Valko says the Miss Bimbo video game encourages. The game allows you to use virtual cash to buy plastic surgery or even diet pills to stay slim after a chocolate indulgence. But, the British website’s creator says the good aspects of the game are being overlooked.
“What about loving your bimbo? What about taking care of your bimbo? Sending it to university? The quality aspects of the game have been completely ignored,” said Miss Bimbo website promoter Chris Evans.
Encouraging education is a portion of the game. But, Valko says that's unrealistic when Miss Bimbo has an I.Q. of 70.
“And you can't raise your I.Q. in the game. I mean a college education at a 70 I.Q. is pretty difficult. I mean, that's borderline mental retardation,” said Valko.
Valko says Miss Bimbo is dangerous and nine-year-olds aren't mature enough to treat it as just a game. He says the nature of this virtual reality can become their core beliefs. He puts this responsibility in parents’ hands.
“I mean, if that's what you want your child to believe than let them play the game. And shame on you as a parent."
Miss Bimbo was launched out of Britain in February. It now has more than 200,000 registered members. And, don't worry, if you run out of virtual cash for your bimbo the creator has conveniently set up a PayPal so you can use real money to buy your breast implants or face-lift.
