Fox News is throwing a fit over the latest online gaming craze: Miss Bimbo. The site, which teeters between obvious satire and disgraceful manipulation of preadolescent females, is downright nutty on all fronts...
Miss Bimbo is a virtual fashion game (is there anything more superficial or offensive to thinking people everywhere?) geared toward 9 to 16 year olds and, according to Fox, has hundreds of thousands of susceptible wannabe's on its roster.
[Users] are told to buy their virtual characters breast-enlargement surgery and to keep them "waif thin" with diet pills.
Players keep a constant watch on the weight, wardrobe, wealth and happiness of their character to create "the coolest, richest and most famous bimbo in the world."
You mean cooler, richer, and more famous than bimbo Paris Hilton? We seriously doubt it's more possible to more famous than her-- as for the rest of that sentence...
Anyway, as a friend put it in his e-mail forwarding this link: "Feminism just took a giant step backward." Then again, if it can be proved that these people are monstrous anti-feminists, maybe it'll help...
