basically, Naomi Campbell is suing cadburys chocolate over a raicist advert that compared her to a chocolate bar. when i first looked at the advert I just thought that it was about her being a diva and nothing about her being black; it seems that its having a joke.
Later on in the article I read that the name "chocolate bar" is used to bully black kids in the schoolyard. if this is true then the ad could be considered racist, even though Cadburys probably didn't know that name "chocolate bar" name calling had been happening.
The interesting question is that should Cadburys be considered responsible for the advert having implications they did not make the ad for? and, does this advert show how racism in society is still alive? or is it just political correctness gone mad?
Wow, really? Am I just insensitive for thinking that's not racist in the slightest? As OP said, the ad is clearly about her being a diva, she's seeing a race issue where there is none.
Eh... I don't think it's a racial advert. I think they felt Naomi Campbell had more pull for their advert and more popularity then Kate Moss. Additionally, Naomi is a little more exotic than Kate is, so it gives the statement a little more punch.
However, the more you think about it, it really does seem like it could be seen as racist, but I don't think we should focus on those subtle connections of a Chocolate Bar to a Black Person. I, honestly, think that the mentioning of it is what makes it racist, or else I wouldn't of thought otherwise. She might just want attention... she is a diva.
Just after money... Nothing racist in it, just once again making a fuss to get something. Hopefully she fails so we don't end up having even more PC BS.

A Chainsaw has too much fat, models are not allowed to eat those.
On topic: It looks a lot like a publicity stunt to get attention. She is probably searching for people doing something that could be interpreted as wrong and then sues them to get her name in the press.
Or she was just angry about being called a diva :p
Hey look a person's skin and a piece of candy have about the same color, and they're actually acknowledging that! Let's get to work and pull a racism claim out of that.
In the united states of stupid (no offense), this sure is racist.

not in the least surprising, she really has gone off the deep end as of....well alot of years. There is nothing racist about this, if someone compared me to white chocolate I'd take it as a complement coz white chocolate is fucking tasty.
