Are any kids actually playing Miss Bimbo?

They say that any press is good press, and that seems to be true for the makers of the now notorious Miss Bimbo, an online game geared toward 'tweens and teens.

The site made headlines last week, and parents across the 'net stood up in protest. Miss Bimbo is a virtual doll, one whose interests lie in things like boys, plastic surgery, hot clothing, and under-eating.

But should we all be worried? Maybe only if your daughter actually plays the game, which according to MSNBC, isn't necessarily likely. Instead, it seems that many of Miss Bimbo's fans are in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond. And they are hoppin' mad that all of this press crashed their favorite online game. With all of the attention the game has gotten over the past week or so, the web site has been unavailable.

This doesn't comfort me a whole lot. Though the game may indeed be ironic, the under 12 set aren't necessarily at an age where grasping irony comes easily.
