'B' is for Bimbo - 27 March 2008
Twenty-three year old (or is it ‘young’) French-born creatively-challenged web designer Nicolas
Jacquart is responsible for press and parent frenzy over the now familiar internet game Miss
Bimbo, which is exponentially increasing faster than a liar blinking - from rien to 200,000
members aged between 9 and 16 in a matter of weeks and after all the endless publicity, now
there must be millions of bimbo-ettes. Mon dieu!
After trying unsuccessfully to have a go at being a Miss Bimbo - the site timed out at every
attempt - I can only conclude that I am not meant to be a big-breasted-bimbo.
So. From what the media reports, players are given a naked virtual character to look after. They
then compete against other players to earn 'bimbo' dollars to be spent on clothes and the
mandatory breast enlargements and facelifts while having to keep her at her target weight with
diet pills to snare a billionaire. Pharmaceutical companies must be delirious at the potential.
The aim is to become the "hottest, coolest, most famous bimbo in the whole world" and
contestants who compete against each other are told to "stop at nothing" even "meds or plastic
surgery", to ensure their little bimbo wins. Is Sir Alan Sugar’s approval the reward? Exactly how
much lower can this gormless culture go? Not much.
Monsieur Jacquart defending his newly found fame and fortune: "Ze breast operations are juste
one part of ze game and nous do not encouraging young girls to have zem, juste reflecting reel
life." Seemingly in Monsieur Jacquart’s real world children plus massive “mine are bigger than
yours” breasts are très naturelle… in France then … or is Monsieur Jacquart residing in a virtual
reality?
Monsieur Jacquart continues to make a bimbo of himself: " Ze missions and goals are morally
sound and teach children about ze reel world.” Doesn’t he mean the virtual world? “They learn to
take care of their bimbos.” Wouldn’t a hamster/guinea pig/newt suffice? “If they eat beaucoup
de chocolate in ze game it is bad for their bimbos' bodies and their happiness levels compared to
if they eat les fruit and vegetables, which reinforces positive healthy eating messages.” 1.2
million children in France are abstaining from chocolate gateau and opting for cabbage and
onions. Vraiment.
Monsieur Jacquart set up this site with the aid of a 30-year-old businessman, Chris Evans, who
clearly has no female bimbo children at home…let’s hope not.
Evans admitted that the story in the script had been created by ‘lads’ and no professional advice
had been sought as to how girls may interpret issues surrounding weight loss and gain and
enormous breasts.
Monsieur Jacquart hasn't said how much money he's making from the site, but claims it is all
harmless fun… for him and his financial adviser.
When the bimbos run out of virtual cash they have to send text messages costing £1.50 a pop or
use PayPal to top up their accounts. In France one parent threatened legal action after his little
bimbo ran up a £100 mobile phone bill sending texts - or becoming a bona fide bimbo without his
knowledge.
More from Monsieur Jacquart: "Eet is not a bad influence for young children…if they are having
problems avec boyfriends or at work, the bimbos can talk through zem with a psychiatrist.”
Sacrebleu. “Mummy! I need psychiatric help. Now. I can’t get my billionaire to pay for my new
breasts!”
The NHS has recently been encouraging people to get psychological help for personal problems;
take advantage Monsieur Jacquart, before some little girl’s parent finds out where you live. In
Tooting.
