  • Naomi Campbell gets apology from Cadbury over 'racist' ad

    Chocolate giant Cadbury has issued an apology to Naomi Campbell over an advertising campaign which the supermodel described as “racist”.

    The ad for Dairy Milk Bliss featured the strapline, “Move over Naomi, there’s a new diva in town,” but was quickly taken out of circulation after Campbell complained.

    The supermodel said she was “shocked” by the “insulting and hurtful” ad and threatened to sue the company.

    Well I wouldn’t have known that was racist if Naomi had said so…does that mean I am racist…….well I am White!

    Yeah well maybe someone’s gonna throw a fridge at your stupid fayt head… 😡

    Probbly just bounce off, causing a hollow ‘bong’ sound.

    My mate’s missus had bad PND. She would regularly throw full nappies at him, and left him scarred after lobbing a heavy glass ashtray at his head. She was a proper good shot.

    If they had been advertising white chocolate, would it have been racist?

    The ‘racism’ bit is completely irrrelevant. The ad was pulled after Cadburys admitted that it did refer to Naomi Campbell. Spose t’was the ‘diva’ bit that was deemed to be a bit much. Racism has absolutely nothing to do with it, despite what that mad cah sez.

    Oh teh ironing… 🙄

    I would pay good money to see women with PND throw full nappies at Naomi Campbell’s head.

    And at DD’s…

    To be fair it’s not only the mad cah (very sexist of you btw Elfie) who’s claiming it’s racist – she has the support of the Politically Correct Brigade :

    Cadbury’s insult Naomi Campbell and Black women

    Quote :

    “This issue is not just about the insult to Naomi Campbell. She is entitled to be offended, but it’s also about how these companies treat Black people in general. Part of the problem is that they don’t see it as offensive, maybe because their managements are almost always all white”

    It’s a tough life being a supermodel……….maybe if Naomi Campbell didn’t have black skin she might have been more successful in her chosen profession ?

    You can’t begin to fathom the contempt I feel for the PC Brigade and the damage they cause to the struggle against real racism.

    Lord above.

    If I ever see that stupid idiot woman, I’m gojng to poo in my own hand and throw it in her face.

    Or, firmish poo in a catapult. Like a paintball, only a poo-ball. Splat! Take that Naomi you stuck up hypocritical cah!

    Or even better, make some paintballs using poo and get a paintball gun I’ll stop now probbly too much.

    What was the apology actually for, offending her or for racism?

    It was “intended as a tongue-in-cheek play on Campbell’s reputation for diva-style tantrums and behaviour”.

    Unfortunately the ad company presumably forgot about her “diva-style tantrums and behaviour” ……. so they had to apologise.

    This is purely about Cadbury’s capitalising on Naomi’s image, something which I reckon she feels only she should profit from. Fair enough, although she’s used the media to get where she is. But to cry ‘racism’ in this way is disgusting. Scumbayg.

    Can’t stand the woman. Nasty horrible cah. Saw her in some interview recently; you’d never believe she was from Sarf London. A more pretentious person you couldn’t hope to meet. Such an utterly false and contrived personality. At least you can still believe Kate Moss is from Croydon…

    So the allegation of racism is supposed to be because Cadbury tried to say Campbell is like a chocolate bar? Ridiculous. They tried to say their chocolate was like a diva. 🙄

    I don’t think there’s any ‘brigade’ out there, but this is a non-story, and free promo for crap chocolate and a hateful model. While I’m on a roll, the way she treats people suggests to me that she doesn’t care about racism, just anything that gets in her way.

    I’m going to buy loads of New Cadburys Diva Bars and sit eating them whilst shouting racial abuse at pictures of Naomi Campbell on tinternet.

    But in the interests of fairness, I will use racially offensive words and language which isn’t purely specific to people of Afro-Caribbean origin. Or Sarf Londoners. I will try to be as inclusive in my prejudice as possible.

    This is the advert btw (apologises for being unPC and posting racist material):

    he he, way to go marketing people at Cadbury’s. Releasing an advert that they knew would create a furfor was a great idea. Well done.

    Interestingly the advert makes no mention of Naomi Campbell, presumably she feels that she is the only Naomi worthy of being called a ‘diva’…..a proper prima donna by any standards.

    The Vauxhall Viva is one of the reasons I will never buy a Vauxhall, that plus the Chevette and the ridiculously dangerously handling Corsa I hired.

    At primary school I had a friend who was the only black kid in our year – and the only other black kid in the school was her older brother. Some of the more repellent children used to call her worm head (because of her braids) and chocolate face, so I can see why people might find it offensive.

    I can’t understand though… why on earth would anybody want their product to be associated with or seen as the next Naomi Campbell? I don’t want my chocolate bar to be a hateful self-obsessed coke-snorting witch. I want it to a be a tasty chocolate bar. With no calories, thanks. Saying that your bar is a diva makes me think that you’ll pay loads of money, eat it and everything might be fine, but there’s a chance it’ll object to being in your stomach and will violently make an exit….

    Ys, it’s not really a good name for a chocolate bar is it? 😐

    What about ‘Dave’? That’s a nice name, and surely it coon’t offend anyone?
