Last month Supermodel Naomi Campbell pitched a fit after Cadbury Chocolates compared her to a chocolate bar in their Bliss ad campaign [click here if you missed that]. Cadbuy issued an apology to Naomi but the Advertising Standards Authority disagrees...
A final report from the ASA determined the ad was,
"likely to be understood to refer to Naomi Campbell's reputation for 'diva-style' behavior rather than her race. On this basis the council decided that the ad was unlikely to be seen as racist or to cause serious or widespread offense."
