How far would you go for success?

I was reading an article this morning on the huffington post:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/31/naomi-campbell-cadbury-ad_n_868909.html

about Naomie Campell being compared to a chocolate bar. I cannot help but asking you, fellow Trisorers (new word for Trisori fans), how far would you go to be successful?
I REALLY wonder what was Cadbury thinking when their marketing team created this ad?



Naomi Campbell is understandably upset about it and is considering taking Cadbury to court for it.
Does it matter to you that people get hurt (and the obvious reference to black people as chocolate bars is considered racism in this Country!), values questioned, wrong images reinforced?
It looks like that in 2011 people will do anything possible for a bit of glory (and sales driven from it).

Is it the only way forward?

  1. What absolute rubbish!!! Are you actually saying that you interpret the ad as racist?

    Sure there are obvious connotations about the colour of chocolate and Naomi's skin colour, but the statement that the ad is making is that the chocolate is luxurious, high maintenance and beautiful.

    Cadbury's aren't stupid, nobody uses racism to sell products- only stupid people read in racist undertones, where there clearly aren't any.

  2. Dear Anonymous, the simple fact that Naomie and the black community are upset about it means that there are other point of views out there in the world. I wouldn't personally like it but if you think otherwise, I respect your idea.
