Naomi vs. The Cadbury Chocolate Clan

2011-05-31T20:26:00.000-07:00

Naomi Campbell, haven't heard much from her recently have you? Maybe that's what's behind the ridiculous accusation she's making against the Cabury Chocolate company. Cadbury introduced their new Dairy Milk Bliss bar with an ad that announced its arrival as such, "Move over Naomi, there's a new diva in town". The ad features a wrapped Dairy Milk Bliss bar standing in a pile of diamonds. Naomi in all her brilliance (my opinion of her mental capacity) has declared the ad racist. There it is. The stupid thing this famous person said. Because it's a chocolate bar she believes Cadbury has crossed the line. The big racism line. Campbell was quoted in the U.K newspaper the Independent saying "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." She was also quoted saying she will explore "every option available" including legal action. Maybe it's the copy at the bottom of the ad that states "I'm the worlds most pampered bar" that's got her so upset. Whatever the reason, she has clearly been wronged in her opinion. Naomi you might be in trouble trying to get traction on this one. Not even Jesse Jackson is calling this racism. Get a grip Naomi, you're really not that important.

I wish I had started this a while ago. There's gems out there I should have mined and maybe I'll go back and dig em up. I was inspired tonight after reading a a brief story in an online article. Namoi, thanks for the start. Welcome all of you to "Stupid Things Famous People Say". This will be an ever growing list of those things that seem to come out of the mouths of the famous without any thought. If you have one that is a favorite of yours but isn't here, send me a message.
