Have You Seen Tide's "Dad-Mom" Commercial? Good Short Version, Bad Long Version IMO

You can see the commercials here: short version & long version.

The short one was on television and couldn't be better. It made stay-at-home-dads look awesome, natural and capable.

The long commercial, though, I had some problems with. I talked about them on my website if you're interested, but basically, my big issue was that the character called himself a "dad mom". I think that makes moms and dads look bad. It presumes that mom's work is in the home - otherwise, he wouldn't call himself a "dad mom". The guy is more of a cocky ass in the long version, and you don't even get to see the funny moment with him asking about the braid at the end.

Anyway, I wanted to see what you guys thought about it!
