Ever look at super skinny Victoria Beckham and feel the urge to slip her some high-caloric "diet" snack bars à la "Mean Girls?"
Well consider this your lucky day.
Blouzar Ltd. and its social networking site Miss Bimbo have unveiled "Nosh for Posh," a video game that lets players fling sushi, burgers, fruits and veggies at a stick-thin Beckham, seen wailing "Help me! I need to put on weight." Players rack up points as they hit the moving Posh target in a bid to beef up the starlet.
"We wanted to poke fun at Victoria Beckham's latest Size Zero look," explains Blouzar's Nicolas Jacquart. "Victoria Beckham is a style icon but she looks as if she needs to put on weight. The game is proving to be a big hit with our players, who are enjoying pelting her with fast food and healthier options like sushi. But there is a serious message too that it is unhealthy for anyone to be so thin that they look as if they are starving themselves."
VB just defended her slim figure in response to criticism about her weight. So we suspect she won't find much to smile about as far as this game is concerned. Not that she, uh, ever smiles.
Unfortunately for us, this game has a pesky side effect: the sight of all the virtual grub makes us hungry -- so we're the ones chowing down and gaining weight, not her.
Sigh. You win this round, Posh.
