I'm insensitive, so I call this the "dead baby" commercial. Reminds me of the ASPCA commercials with the sad music and sad puppies.

OK, I know I'm a bit sick and twisted, but man, at the end of this commercial, that twisted part of me wants to see someone standing there with 2 huge pot covers and clash them together as if they were playing the grand finale in Taicovsky's  1812 Overture.
 
That's what I think of sleeping in heavenly peace.
LOL  Now thats funny!!!!... Butt,  That would scare the crap out of him.

I just can't believe that Pampers HAD to use "Silent Night" for a diaper commercial!

It irritates me how they would butcher Silent Night for something as disgusting as diapers. Yes, I'm stating the obvious, but this is a new low for television.

It's a beautiful song.
 
I mentioned in the SPCA thread how, in order to avoid a horrible SPCA commercial (featuring Silent Night sung by Sara McLachlan) one night, I clicked onto the next channel---where this Pampers commercial was playing.
 
While the use of Silent Night in the SPCA commercial seemed like a juxtaposition or contrast to the depressing images of abused animals, I think the use of Silent Night to images of sleeping babies was congruent, optimistic...and nice (despite the weewee/caca thing---which is barely implied, anyway).

While sappy and funny to use the Christ child's birth to symbolize pee free nights.. I am curious about what makes "Silent Night" a "terrible song"

Not sure who this was aimed at but how would considering a vitamin (not actually taking it, just sitting around considering and contemplating) help anyone to "like"  kids?

Nothing like images of sleeping babies with great big loads in their diapers to get us into the Christmas spirit.

I hate that I see this commercial in the friggin' summer!!!  "Silent Night" is a Christmas Carol...I do NOT want to be hearing it in the middle of July!  Can't they use some other lullaby during the non-holiday times??

Evil SmileBig smile...reminds me of my all-time favorite film scene - W.C. Fields drops a nickle on the sidewalk, in front of an 'innocent wafe'. As she bends over to pick it up, he kicks her in the tail, sending her down a coal chute.
"My Hero!"
Pertty sure she wasn't wearing 'Pampers'.

This commercial really pisses me off, if only because of the horrendous chopping up of the song. Silent Night has always - even now that I've grown up and moved on from Religion - been such a lovely and touching song for me, and hearing it snipped up like this just seems like taking a massive dump on the song.
 
 
Now if they had sleeping babies spliced together with Laurel and Hardy singing "Go to sleep, My Baby (Ba-haby)", I'd probably love it.
