Miss Bimbo isn't Shakespeare

Moral outrage of the week: Teenyboppers are playing virtual materialistic, body-obsessed bimbos at MissBimbo.com.

The site advertises a variety of fulfilling activities:


* Find your own cool place to live.
* Find a fun job to pay for your needs and all the clothes a Bimbo could possibly want.
* Shop for the latest fashions and become the trendsetting bimbo in town !
* Become a socialite and skyrocket to the top of fame and popularity.
* Date that famous hottie you've had your eye on and show the Bimbo world the social starlet you are !
* Even resort to meds or plastic surgery. Stop at nothing to become the reigning bimbo !
* Tackle your 104 tasks as quick as possible to become the rising star bimbo !!

Colleen McEdwards of CNN says, "it's vulgar." Apparently, several parents groups are also in a tizzy.

Meanwhile, according to Wired magazine's latest issue, Arden, an online Shakespearean world, has been a total dud. They are releasing a new version with fewer literary references and more killing.

I've being seeing this story all over.

There are some great options out there if you don't want your daughters on sites like this. (I feel justified in this case for posting about my site, apologies all around...) Check out http://www.beaconstreetgirls.com

This website supports positive media and strong role models for preteen girls. Girls post on the site (safely, it's all monitored) and talk about things like -- are you too old for Halloween, what's the right age for makeup, and all kinds of friendship and social issues.

I guess being a nice and supportive website doesn't get you as much PR as being, um, what's a nice word for it? Hmm, can't think of any nice words for it -- call it "edgy" for want of a better term.
