As a matter of principle; I am not going to post it on the religion folder.
But I just saw a commercial for 'dianetics.com' running on the history channel.
What do you guys think about it?

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

I don't have cable or satellite (and consider myself better off for the lack), but from what I've seen of both the History and Discovery channels, neither are to be entirely trusted. Paid pimping for dianetics comes as small suprise.
I wish we could get a few Scientologest scumbags in here. I need some vituperation practice.

The new diantetics commercial has been running on several cable channels.
What do I think about it? Well, aside from fast forwarding though it (as I do with all commercials in the limited TV I actually watch), I can't be very concerned with a commercial. The LDS run commercials all the time too.
Now.. ask me what I think of scientology in general. If you can tolerate profanity that is.

As a non-American; it is one of the thing that startled me when I arrived here... Churches producing commercials just like some soda or washing powder.
'The new Catholic church; same great taste now with 25% less molestations.'
