Here are my two 'Saturn ad' cents:
I'm not offended by the ad in the same way I'd say an American or any other nationality would be overly sensitive if they were to react in that way to a similar use of their flag. The ad is PRAISING Jamaica. Did you realize that? Yes, they probably broke a few copyright infringement laws and a few discretionary protocols, but all in all it was just saying Jamaica is awesome. Just like the VW and Heineken ads, the use of the great black, green & gold was not degradation, it was admiration.
Do you want to know what the funny part is? This is exactly what happened in the ad. One act of admiration was misunderstood by millions and the result was an UNNECESSARY RIOT. Yeah, I yelled it & I'll yell it again. UNNECESSARY!
When did everyone get so testy & high strung? No need for a temper tantrum, people. Calm down & sip some Blue Mountain coffee.
