VidAngel doesn't like foul language, but clearly has less of a problem with violence.

The company, which cleans up streaming content online by filtering out obscene language and other objectionable material, just released the crazy ad below—in which a family sitting on a couch gets shot by 3,192 paintballs in five seconds. The point? Curse words are really bad for you!

Or as the tagline puts it: "Every word has impact."

The video was produced by Ackermania Creative, MysteryBox and Harmon Brothers.
