Ahh people gotta lighten up. The "holy sh--" commercial was brilliant.

With all due respect, I didn't think so. The whole thing struck me as distasteful. First of all, why the big bars of soap that looked distinctly uncomfortable? Couldn't they just have the kids blowing soap bubbles or something? That strikes me as suggesting sadism toward children, which is in very bad taste.
I'm not suggesting anything should be banned, but it's something a prudent adult just shouldn't produce.
Also, the ad suggests that all children use bad language. That's also the wrong message to send children.
When I was a kid, there was an excellent ad where a child offers Mean Joe Greene a coke when he's hurt during a game. Greene tosses the child a jersey in response, and the child thanks him. The child is shown as caring, polite, and gracious. That's the kind of ad that will make me think highly of a company.

I loved the soap commercial. Reminded me of when the lug nuts went flying in the Christmas Story. ;-)
