Naomi Campbell's outrage as 'racist advert likens her to a chocolate bar'

[super jumbe]

Naomi Campbell is considering taking legal action against Cadbury after claiming a ?racist? advertisement compares her to a chocolate bar.
The supermodel said she was shocked and hurt to see her name on billboards and in newspapers next to the Dairy Milk Bliss bar.
Black civil rights groups have urged shoppers to boycott products of Cadbury?s U.S. parent company, Kraft Foods.
And Miss Campbell, who is known for being litigious, said she is currently considering taking ?every available option? over the adverts that appeared in a national newspaper last week and in supermarkets, reading, ?Move over Naomi, there?s a new diva in town?.
She said: ?I am shocked. It?s upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me but for all black women and black people.I do not find any humour in this. It is insulting and hurtful.?



I think it?s only a bit of sun tan there is nothing wrong, it?s lovely looking in that colour, what?s all the fuss about.

All they are saying is there is a new diva in town, they would have used Witney Houston, but apparently her nose is to white these days...

Stupid cow, doesn't she know that her own management had to sign this advert off before it would be allowed to go into print?

She should be confronting her own agent, or sacking them, if she feels this was insulting.

All Kraft have to do is turn up with the signed contract that states they checked all details with her agent/manager before releasing the advert.

I just dont get why people go out of their way to get offended these days. I'm white. In parts that dont see much sunlight, you could say I resemble a bottle of milk. Make that comparison all you want - why should it offend me? Likewise, Naomi Campbell's skin is a shade of brown similar to milk chocolate. She really needs to lighten up! No pun intended.
