'Thank You Mom' video salutes very forgiving mothers

5/12/2012

With Mother's Day on Sunday, if you haven't gotten her a present yet, there's always the possibility of creating a viral video in her honor. This cute spot features a bunch of hipster-y types sharing their thanks for their moms -- who are, apparently, a very patient bunch, since the confessions include shoplifting, going to jail, and "burning down a forest." Interestingly, the video's creators encourage viewers to follow up by tweeting their gratitude to #thanksmom -- but at last inspection, that hashtag still brought up a mix of sincere tributes and less reverent notes ("Calling my mom while im on the toilet to get me toilet paper because im completely out #thanksmom").
