The anonymous person above obviously doesn’t have kids or understand how impressionable they are.

I’m disgusted by this website being open to children.

Reading these comments, i think it is quite stereotypical of you to think that just because it was a twenty-something man that made the website, that it is for a sick reason.personally i think there is nothing wrong with the site.it does warn that it is only a Game on the page with plastic surgery and that if you are considering it, to talk to your parents!!also, the site is not really encouraging girls to be “bimbos”, it is encouraging them to be responsible.for example, you have to get an apartment and go on a training course to get a job!i think all you are doing is being biased and not reviewing both sides of the story.

Lots of evil or bad things require a degree of intellect.

It’s a question of how we choose to use our intellect don’t you think – whether for progress and goodness, or for bad: minimization and objectification of human beings.

I think it’s a bit off that you are wanting to set a good example for your kids yet everyone here is commenting that the creators are geeks he might be a bit of an ass but your setting a bad example for your children yourself by calling website creators geeks because they hae a job that requires some level of intelect.

One blog post educating parents about this game does not a crucification make.

If it were a simple misunderstanding he would change the game to be unoffensive.

I appreciate that he took off the diet pills. I'd appreciate it more if he took off the plastic surgery. I'd appreciate it even more than that if he required an age limit of say 16-18 to prevent impressionable 9 year olds from playing the game if he's going to leave that stuff on.

Here's the thing, we don't want diet pills and plastic surgery to be "normalized" for our young daughters.

I know it must seem insane to you - but, we'd like for them to love and accept themselves as they are without resorting to Dr. Frankenstein measures.

Anything that interferes with that - and I agree Miss Bimbo is just one small part of a huge cultural problem - is a bad influence.

This blog educates and informs parents. It's a valid and important thing to do. Without education and information parents aren't even aware the game exists and can't protect their kids from it's influence.
