Jamaica
It is Super Bowl weekend and it wouldn’t be the same if there weren’t a buzz about the ads. This time Jamaica is at the center of a controversial Volkswagen commercial, which many claim to be racist. The advertising features a Caucasian man with a fake Jamaican accent. However, others are saying this may be the best Super Bowl ad for 2013. But, what do Jamaicans think? “No problem man.” It is a hit with the yardies.
St. Kitts & Nevis
On Thursday, the Deputy Prime Minster of St. Kitts, Sam Condor, told the cabinet that he would be resigning immediately. The reasons he gave for his decision include issues of Good Governance and Constitutional Integrity. The government has recently announced that it would increase the number of senators in the National Assembly, which met opposition within the ruling party.
