This is a super bowl ad showing a car full of Jamaican speaking people arriving 3 minutes late for a meeting. What will the world think about our work ethics? This is not typical of Jamaicans, we would not be 3 minutes late for a work related event!

Time, the advert is more in our favour than not. By showcasing someone from Wisconsin who CHOOSES to be happy, it highlights the difference between happiness and the distress, apprehension and disquiet of the daily routine experienced by the average North American office worker. The fact that the person is speaking in a Jamaican accent, with our dialogue and euphemisms, underscores the fact that our culture is universally recognized as being aligned with happiness, a fleeting state of being for most people and most cultures around the world. I would rather that image than the image off a splif burning, dreadlock beach bum which is unfortunately, an image that is too often painted of Jamaicans, especially in movies. I'll take this over that, anyday.

There is a relationship between punctuality and discipline.
