When Frank is giving his "conscience is dead" speech and he says, "It's f-ck your buddy, cheat on your wife, call your mother on Mother's Day", what's bad about calling your mother on Mother's Day?
Reportin' live for Black TV: White folks are dead, we gettin' the f*@# outta here!
I took it this way: Live ur life, do wrong in ur life, call mom on Mothers Day to try & let that good thing u do, wipe the slate clean for the wrong things u do.
Effin ur buddy, cheatin on ur wife are all wrong, bad things. Make it better for ur conscience and call mom on Mothers Day because that's a good & right thing to do. That's my translation anyway.

My interpretation is that people ignore their Mother, with the exception of calling her on Mother's Day. It falls in line with the rest of Frank's observations about the lack of personal ethics in modern day America.
shareYes, it's what Eelb said: it means calling your mother ONLY on Mother's Day and ignoring her for the rest of the year.
shareRight. Sort of like the people who figure that logging an hour in church on Sunday morning evens up the fact that they're complete bastards the other 6 days and 23 hours of the week.
share@melco92 I thought Frank's point was that people would only call their mother on Mother's Day, rather than go to the trouble of visiting her.
But after reading eelb's post...

...I think they're right - Frank's point was that people call their mother only on Mother's Day, and pretty much ignore her for the rest of the year.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to call my mother.
