So there has been an uproar in regards to a Cadbury ad;
The ad has upset Naomi Campbell and other people apparantely as it is being considered as racist, because she is referred to and is compared with a chocolate.
Well, personally I just don't see the so-called 'racism'. The only thing which might be offensive and which only applies to Naomi is that she is being referred as a Diva + the advert features diamonds and we all know about Naomi's involvement in a blood diamond case.
So I find it is ridiculous that this advert had to be pulled down as it is clear that it isn't racist, but just a reference to Naomi's famous attitude and not her race, skin colour, whatever you want to call it. I actually feel sorry that people are becoming offended with just the slightest mention and automatically jump to the conclusion that it is racist, especially when in this case the only 'offensive' thing is that it is making a slight joke regarding a woman who is famous for her attitude and her lifestyle!
I guess people have lost their sense of humour, oh well whether the ad exists or not I hope the chocolate bar tastes good!
