When Cadbury compared Naomi Campbell to dark chocolate, the supermodel was displeased, to say the least.
“It’s upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me but for all black women and black people,” Campbell told the Guardian. “I do not find any humour in this. It is insulting and hurtful.”
Cadbury pulled the ads and issued a grovelling apology – even though the UK’s advertising authority rejected a complaint against it.
