Another day, another game furore. This time though it’s not about splitting heads open with an axe but becoming the best bimbo you can be, girlfriend.
The online game is a virtual fashion world that allows those that register – mostly young girls – the chance to create their own highly customised character, starting off with a bimbo in underwear.
OK, you might think it’s a bit tame for all the stink it’s raising but players are allowed to use boob jobs, facelifts and diet pills to customise their bimbos. Since the people that play it are mainly 9-16-year olds, you can see why there’s a bit of gasping going on.

"Is it any worse than boy’s games that encourage shooting, killing and blowing stuff up?"
Yes its is, and its not like no one is making an equal outcry against the 'boys' games.
why ban the site?? its obviously not as bad as the "boy" shooting, killing and blowing stuff up games!! how is a girly site that apparently ifluences girls (they must be realy dumb!!) to want to get a boob job as bad as killing in games?? they might be making an "euqual" outcry to the boys games aswell but no one has gone as far as banning a site?? why not ban newgrounds.com?? huh?? just make the age limit 16+ or something, its the parents fault for not supervising. You must know there is waaay more worse things than this on the net..
I guess it stems from the fact that there's likely to be a clear distinction between reality and game when you're blowing stuff up.
The same may not be so true when there is influence to do things that are not so far beyond the realms of social acceptableness and everyday practicality.
