Personally I think some can manage to see racism in everything.

Pretty silly of Cadbury to use Naomi Campbell's name without her permission. If they do have permission, then it is pretty silly of Naomi.

Naomi will get a tasty out of court settlement over the harm and duress caused by this "racist" attack. Sadly, the Race industry is jumping in and supporting Naomi.

Pretty silly, this tempest in a teapot.

While we are on the subject of race, have you seen Obama's hair lately? He IS half white. Being President wears down on everyone, no matter who they are.

Naomi has been a twit little brat since she was young.
A close personal friend had the unfortunate pleasure of having to room with her back in their younger modeling years.
She threw fits over the stupidest things.

Granted they did not use her whole name but maybe they should have consulted with Snapple about an advertising campaign.

" Campbell told the U.K. newspaper the Independent, "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 humor in this. It is insulting and hurtful."...'cept when the former mayor of new orleans called for a return to new orleans as a "chocolate city"....

I think it's very arrogant of Naomi Campbell to just assume they were talking about her. Naomi is not really that uncommon of a name.

I posted, but it looks as if my post was deleted. So I'll just say: She's a piece of work. It's my hope Cadbury has the balls to tell her to take a hike, but they will probably cave.

they could have put any name there... or better yet, just left it off, it still would have been as affective as to get me to try the chocolate (none)

It's racist if you want it to be racist.

This is why Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are so famous.

"Pretty silly of Cadbury to use Naomi Campbell's name without her permission. If they do have permission, then it is pretty silly of Naomi. "
There are MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY people with the name Naomi, she doesnt own the rights to the name.

This is so freaking silly, this is a big problem in our world, people want to pull the race card as much as possible

I remember going to see "Cocoon", a science fiction film about alien visitors.

I was shocked when I discovered it wasn't about a coloured person with a speech impediment.

She says she's hurt that's she described as "chocolate"... when in the fact, all the ad is doing is describing the chocolate as a diva.

I'm glad our superstars (and apparently those who support them) have such a firm grasp on understanding the english language.

Naomi Campbell's lawyers would most likely succeed in a courtroom argument that their client was defamed. There may be many women named Naomi but only one famous Naomi is a diva. Things might be different in England but a jury in the US would most likely side with the plaintiff. Hence, Cadbury will settle out of court to get past this racist moniker. Yes, it is silly but the Race Industry is alive and kicking and I ain't talking about motorcycles.

Milk Chocolate may be brown but it is also very sweet and creamy... and very very tasty, most people love it. I do.
Funny how she doesn't mention anything about the diamonds... which was and IS the obvious intended message.

There is no Cadbury any more. Bought by Kraft.

Mac 'n Cheese with that chocolate?

Kraft is owned by R.J. Reynolds.

I would like to thank both for their generous contributions to my investments. While I enjoy neither of their products - their dividends do pay nicely.

"There is no Cadbury any more. Bought by Kraft.

No
There is still a Cadbury, obviously. Just because a company is purchased by another company, it doesnt mean that the original company no longer exists.
Think of Buell/HD.

Cadbury creme eggs are the most awesome candy ever invented.
