Jamaicans weren't presented as something
laughable/ridiculous/ignorant/etc. It was positive and IMO was no
different really than a tourism commercial that shows happy white ppl
visiting Jamaica and "laughing & frollicking (sp)" with Jamaicans on
the resorts/beaches/etc.
ETA:
One could make the claim that the official tourism commercials exploit the Jamaican population to be this smiling/shuck & jive set of ppl meant only to put smiles on the faces of white people who visit and contribute money to their economy. I doubt most ppl would make that claim. So that's why I don't really see this ad as offensive.

Black ppl aren't the only ones who can have Jamaican accents. I've met plenty of Indian, Asian, Hispanic & White ppl in Jamaica with ridiculously strong accents.
This is just much ado about nothing. Some ppl just need to constantly be in a state of "I'm offended" to feel relevant.

IA...next thing you know the whites will eb up and offended that the ad made them look ridiculous...

Opposition fumes over burning of Jamaican flag in German commercial

A video grab of the German commercial
The Opposition has expressed grave concern about the burning of a Jamaican flag in a TV commercial by German-based electronics store, Saturn.
The commercial posted on YouTube has been getting significant page views.
In a release this afternoon Olivia Grange, the Opposition
spokesperson on culture, urged the Jamaican Government to immediately
write to the German Embassy in Jamaica bring its attention to the
situation.
Grange said while advertisement which has heavy Jamaican influences
may not have been done with malicious intent, it is unacceptable to have
images of Jamaica’s national flag or any other flag being desecrated.
At the same time, she has called for the Government to continue the
work of an Inter-Ministerial Committee of the previous Jamaica Labour
Administration for the management, regulation, use, display and
performance of Jamaica’s national emblems and symbols.
