Businessman defends boob job game

26/03/2008

An internet businessman who owns a popular fashion game where girls can give avatars a ''virtual'' makeover says it is just a game.

Chris Evans, 30, said the Miss Bimbo website was a fun interactive game and it was "ludicrous" to suggest it was potentially dangerous.

His comments came in the wake of criticisms from parent and health care groups concerned that the girls were encouraged to feed their avatars diet pills and give them plastic surgery.

But Mr Evans said: "It is a game, you create your character and you can choose whether to give your character a boob job."

A response to coverage on the Guardian website asked if this game, aimed at girls, was any different to allowing boys to play shooting or fighting games.

"Games are games. They aren''t real," said the blog message posting.

Meanwhile celebrity Kerry Katona told Heat magazine she intends to have a breast reduction and lift after the birth of her next child.
