There has been a lot of controversy lately over the Miss Bimbo virtual game site.
Due to preconceived notions of the word bimbo, most people can probably figure out the concept of the website.
You start out with your own bimbo and some bimbo dollars. Throughout the game you need to clothe and feed your bimbo and play games to earn dollars, IQ and attitude points.
The outrage comes from parents saying the website promotes plastic surgery, unhealthy eating habits and a loose sexual nature, and that the young girls who are accessing the site will be influenced negatively by the game.
Initially, that makes sense.
But, wait a minute. The only way the game could influence your daughter would be if she were accessing the site. The only way she would be accessing the site is if you were not monitoring exactly what your child was doing on the internet - or you were allowing her to get onto the site. In either case, the responsibility lies with the parent not the creator of the game.
It seems like lately, there has been a lot of parents and therapists blaming the media and entertainment industry for what their child is exposed to instead of being a parent and limiting what their child is exposed to.
You can't shelter your children from everything, but you can raise a child that is not immediately swayed by negative items in the media.
Oh and let us not forget, the more everyone protests about this website, the more popular it gets and the more likely your child is going to want to check out what all the fuss is about.
