Mister M Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 What do people think of Naomi Campbell's complaint at Cadburys? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/advertising/naomi-campbell-in-race-row-over-cadbury-chocolate-2290405.html Has she got a legitimate gripe against cadburys, or is she missing the point?

Makes her sound daft, but she'll have a lot of backers I'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Erikson Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 How does she know she's the "Naomi" in question? It's awfully big headed of her to assume they're referring to her. I wonder if all the blacks in Sierra Leone will be boycotting Cadbury's on her behalf or would they see it as a big inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCOnoob Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Unbelievable - she is at it again. She pulled the racist card once before when a newspaper used the term "chocolate soldier" in an article. Which is a genuine term to describe a weak person. This btw was an article about her alleged drug use which she was trying to keep out of the papers via an injunction. Anything that she can even vaguely link to her race and she starts. I hope it gets thrown out of court. The ad says nothing about her race its a joke about the diva lifestyle. Would she have still kicked off if it was a milkybar or some irn-bru or washing powder..... No. Its a chocolate bar. Chocolate just happens to be brown. So she is claiming to be of the 'brown race' then. Silly cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguendo Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 This woman is a disgrace, she complains about an advert which is clearly referring to her status as a diva, my take on the ad is that the new chocolate bar is extravagant, nothing in the ad gives me the impression it relates to her colour. Pity she didn’t take such a big stance when she was allegedly taking blood diamonds of Charles Taylor. The ironic thing is, if & I doubt it will happen; they have a boycott of Cadbury’s & Kraft products who will suffer the most, well no doubt the Coco producers in South America and Africa. Well done Naomi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppins Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I think Cadburys knew exactly what they were doing, they picked on the right person knowing it would pi** her off, no such thing as bad advertising. good marketing I would say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cressida Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Of course it refers to Naomi Campbell and they know it will attract a lot more publicity out of it, they may even have accounted for the fact that she may sue and they are prepared - I don't like her particularly as her behaviour to her assistant was well-publicized but I think she's right in this case.

<Aim 4> Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Naomi Campbell is an idiot. I wouldnt kick her out of bed, but she's an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arguendo Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 ...I wouldnt kick her out of bed... :huh:NO NO NO, I wouldn't let her anywhere near mine (especially because I’m married), she may at onetime been very good looking, she's not ugly as such on the outside, but I also feel beauty is on the inside, & to me more important, as such I personally feel she is extremely ugly on the inside:gag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
