Miss Bimbo Pretends to Develop a Brain Cell

New disclaimer on the homepage of the online Miss Bimbo game:

Dear Players,

Due to unforseen worldwide interest in Miss Bimbo we have had difficulty in maintaining our game in the manner players have become accustomed. We are sorry for this inconvenience and can assure you that our game will be up and running as soon as possible.

As a result of this rather surprising media attention we have decided to remove the option of purchasing diet pills from the game. We apologise to any players whom this may inconvenience but we feel in light of this weeks proceedings it is the correct action to take.

We would also like to sincerely apologise to our players for the media comparison of Miss Bimbo and Paris Hilton. We feel that this does a dis-service to the players whom send their bimbos to university, tea parties or chess tournaments.

At this time we would also like to remind players that the Miss Bimbo team assume no responsibility or liability for any fashion faux pas, hair style disasters or boob jobs incurred in real life as as a result of playing the Miss Bimbo game.

While removing the diet pills is certainly a positive step, the disclaimer here makes it clear Miss Bimbo's creators find it to be an inconvenient one.  It's also an insincere step, as players can still purchase "medicines," though there's no explanation what these medicines cure.  If the bimbo's biggest problem is  exceeding her target weight, will the "medicines" get her back on track?  We've set up an account, and as we continue to play the game, we will report back to you on the results...  And as always, the existence of medicines to cure problems of (deemed) unattractiveness take us back to the problem of artificial beauty being cast as an issue of health. 

An even more inconvenient step than removing the diet pills, we're sure, would be to remove the plastic surgeries.  Shirking responsibility "for any... boob jobs incurred in real life as a result of playing the Miss Bimbo game" is as disingenuous as New Beauty magazine claiming that it's possible for women to elect for cosmetic surgery without "influence, pressure or force" while simultaneously proclaiming they have the scoop on beauty "must-haves" and co-opting the concept of beauty as one that is artificially ageless.
