Cadbury had some fun at the expense of Naomi Campbell last week, but the super model isn't laughing.
The company ran the following ad in British newspapers last week, hyping its Dairy Milk Bliss Bar as the "new diva in town" and taking a jab at Campbell, whose violent past includes spitting at a cop, attacking a limo driver and assaulting a cameraman.
Sounds rather diva-like to us.
But not to Naomi.
"I am shocked," Campbell said. "It's upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me, but for all black women and black people as a race. I do not find any humor in this. It's insulting and hurtful."
Do you agree? Is the ad inappropriately targeting black women? Or just this one, scandalous woman who happens to be black? Sound off now: is it racist?

I feel you were wrong for stopping your ad, it had nothing to do with women of color! YOU make delicious chocolate that any diva would love to be connected with!

Bryan feel you dude. LOL so many beautiful women right. ButI do agree with you. Blacks do have a skitzo attitude in race relations because we don't do things the right way. we went from crawling to running without standing up, walking, and jogging as for as race relations go. sometimes we try to give what we don;t have. But hey a day is coming soon to change all that. but yeah no harm no foul. but Asian chicks are grrrrreeeaaat too lol. I love any girl with a nice face or body, big ass is a definate plu.s LOL, can't explain it. But I very sexually attracted to chocolate myself. but yeah glad to see every body takes a shot with you and I hate the race card too because everybody gets on my nerves evenly.

I think Naomi is freaking HOT! It's too bad she has the attitude...or seems to have an attitude. I don't really know her so... Halle Berry is my favorite though. She is SO beautiful to me.
I'm white, but I am attracted to every race of woman though. A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, plain and simple. However, I am mostly attracted to Asian women. Man they are so incredibly gorgeous to me. The kicker is, I've never dated an Asian girl! Oh well. Maybe one day. Just don't tell my wife!!

@"mixed," you are the one that needs a math (and grammar) lesson. The correct phrase would have been "3 1/4s and 1 1/4. Without the "s" you indeed stated that you were three and 1/4 plus 1/4, which equals 3 1/2, as Jen McB stated. Your observations about being a dumbass were, therefore, autobiographical. BTW, "dumbass" is one word, not two. You can't even spell "dumbass," Dumbass!

uhh...I hate fractions! I also suck at fractions...math in general really. The metric system is actually much easier. :o)

@ jen McB,
I guess your one of those stupid American kids who cant do fractions eh? (by this I'm not saying all American kids cant do fractions so dont get it twisted)
I said Im 3 quarters black and 1 quarter white. Thats 4 quarters and what do four quarters make? A whole!
Your such a dumb ass!!
Maybe you should make sure you know what your talking about before you comment!

Hey Eric, I hear ya man. I really do not lump any race together as good or bad. I'll be the first to say when it comes to crime and criminals, the white ones are the most weird and cruel ones there are. I'm talking "JACKED UP"! I really don't want to offend and I know words hurt more than anything, but I'm a very honest person when it comes to what I want to say. There is bad and good in every race. And I know people that are black, white and mexican that I would take a bullet for. I'm just soooooooooo sick of the "race card". I honestly never think about race or racism until its brought up in something like the Naomi Campbell crap pops up.
I hate Thugs, skin heads/ neo nazi's are freaking embarrassing to the white race. KKK are cowards...can't even show their face. You get the picture. and after all...what I think...really doesn't matter at all. I'm just another person brought up in a fugged up country.
Have a good weekend!!
