I concur with Edelman Digital that a side of me didn’t want to blog this at all for fear of giving it ANY exposure, so I’m actually thrilled that advertising colleagues are crying foul rather than slough it off as another Axe ad “parody” where I was repeatedly told to “get over myself” and enjoy the irony and satire. ![]() Just when you thought media influence on body image had reached the tipping point of toxicity, our pals at Beauty and the Breast (and parents, Feministing, mashable,and industry colleagues at Edelman Digital) are reporting in disgust on this new web game, Miss Bimbo making the rounds in Europe where “Girls are encouraged to compete against each other to become the “hottest, coolest, most famous bimbo in the whole world.” (video w/the creator here)ĬNN reports, “When a girl signs up, they are given a naked virtual character to look after and pitted against other girls to earn “bimbo” dollars so they can dress her in sexy outfits and take her clubbing…” Early April Fool’s joke?
