I did NOT find it racist (a lot of controversy on this), and I actually found it VERY endearing to my Jamaican friends and my lovely favorite vacation destination.
Made me think of my lovely home away from home........
Brought a smile to my face!!!!!
absolutely love it!Quote:

We would all be guilty of racism if talking in a Jamaican accent when you are not Jamaican is considered racist.
I personally do a really bad rendition of it.
The red stripe response cracked me up..
Rediculous hahahh
I had to re-watch the commerical many times, mon' . Very good. As the saying goes about Jamaica..."once you go, then you know". Or here's another one..."either you get it, or you don't" Yaaa mon', evryting gonna be alright! Irie!Quote:

The guy Dave in the commercial younger sister is married to a Jamaican, so his brother-in-law is Jamaican.

"You're from Minnesota aren't you?"
"Yes, I! De land of ten tousand lakes! De gopha state!"

Did not see the Red Stripe response till now - that is HILARIOUS.
