while this one is not entirely positive it does have one of the most positive spins i have seen yet. And i find this extremely funny because i love reading the press since that's how i found this site- and was doing that when i stumbled upon this.
http://news.scotsman.com/opinion/Dani-G … 3928562.jp
"What are young girls to make of the fact that men's magazines draw up lists of the 10 "hottest" tennis stars (rather than the 10 most talented) and that Hillary Clinton's chances of being elected are better if people like what she's wearing or how she has styled her hair? Or that the ultimate symbols of a successful metropolitan lifestyle – the Sex In The City gang – spend more time talking about men and shoes than they do about art and literature? Why on earth would young girls aspire to be nuclear scientists when newsreaders and supermodels are accorded a far greater status?
Against this backdrop, the thought of teenage girls hunched over a computer screen considering which bit of their "bimbo" to put under the surgeon's knife doesn't seem quite so funny after all. Although to suggest this site will cause users to have plastic surgery or develop eating disorders is a nonsense, it may confirm pre-existing notions of what it means to be successful and popular to a proportion of girls already seduced by media images. But more importantly, it just seems like a crashing bore; a waste of time that could be spent on more challenging, horizon-expanding pursuits.
Calls for the Miss Bimbo site to be closed down shouldn't be given airtime – why on earth should it be targeted when TV programmes such as American Princess are allowed to keep sapping young girls' visions of what they can achieve? At least the website demonstrates a glimmer of a sense of humour.
It is the responsibility of parents to decide what should or should not be played online. Just as it is up to them to provide their daughters with more positive models of womanhood to aspire to."

In the end, we need not fear for Miss Bimbo destroying the future for our daughters. We only need recall the wise words of British comedian Marcus Brigstocke, who chimed in on the alleged dangers of computer games ages ago.

Yay, I love this!!
I'm looking forward to all future contests!
Too bad I was a bit slow discovering this thread, otherwise I would have tried to find a positive article and post it here. But I can see many people have already done it, and to be honest, I don't think there are that many positive articles about missbimbo on the net!
But I also didn't think there was THAT many negative articles..! They are really making missbimbo look very bad. I started here because I read an article about the game in a Norwegian newspaper online, but they were not, like, attacking the game in the same range as many of the articles I found in english. They were more neutral, but there was definitely a negative undertone - and that's why I wanted to check it out. Haven't regretted it since! 
Missbimbo rocks

Here's a few things I've heard on the web about Miss Bimbo....
-i actully like it..if it wasnt so slow! lol..another good time waster lol..x
-Yeah, I don't see how a game on the internet can influence people to that sort of stuff... If it was 'real' people then maybe that would be different but its like its just a 'cartoon' sorta thing on a game...
-Yea like the sims type thing, because its just a virtual thing! xxx
-Its quite addictive when you actually get on it lmao Surprised
-now, I know nothing about child psychology but I;d be offended if people thought I was that easily influenced
-I agree with Amykins....personally, i think that if kids are brought up to know right from wrong with good morals and a feeling of self-worth, i doubt very much a website is going to make them rush out to get a boob job at 18 or suddenly develop anorexia
-LoL I'm gonna give it a go, I heard all the hype on the news today, now I'm intrigued
Ok so to me it's seems like a good think that Missbimbo is all over the news, because it has brought soooooooo many people to this site lol everyone wants to check it out.. then gets addicted haha

I was raised in a generation when parents knew where their children were at ,what they were doing etc. When T.V. first came out my parents were watchful of that also.Bottom line is that it is the parents responsibilty to know where there children are when they go online and set limits. Children emulate what they see so if you give your child a Barbie doll at age three and they hear their mommies and their mommies friends talk about diets and face lifts that is where it all begins so dont blame the virtual Miss Bimbo paper doll game for body image issues.I am a proud and happy player of Miss Bimbo at age 62 and now my mom who is 85 wants a Bimbo to.

It is quite positive, but considering the date on the blog post, I have a feeling that it was "inspired" by this thread and subsequent contest. One thing that really makes me laugh about it is this:
You have to take care of your bimbo by feeding them and watering them.
It makes the bimbo sound like a plant.

I also found this site via the media questioning wether or not young girls should be playing. As I an adult I can see their point, but they didn't point out how fun it would be for us older folks who want to wear the kinds of fashions we can put on our bimbo's and yet we probably wouldn't dare put on ourselves. I very much enjoy going shopping everyday for cloths. I love changing my hair style and color as often as I want without getting fried ends. Many of you lovely women have put some really nice outfits together that I would never dreamed and they look great. It would be even a little more fun if we could decorate our pads and invite people over.
