 THIS IS THE MOST FUCKING WORTHLESS ARTICLE ON ALL OF WIKIPEDIA. THE ONLY THING I WANT TO KNOW IS WHEN THE FUCK MOTHER'S DAY IS. WHY IS THIS FUCKING ARTICLE FUCKING LOCKED, ASSHOLES?! WHEN IS MOTHER'S DAY? WHEN IS MOTHER'S DAY? WHAT FUCKING GOOD IS THIS STUPID FUCKING WEBSITE? —Preceding unsigned comment added by   •   

 :If you read the article, it will tell you when Mother's Day is. As you appear to be from the United States, the article clearly states (in the first sentence of the article) that ""The United States celebrates Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May"". And then, in the ""Mother's Day in various parts of the world"" section, it even more clearly states that for the United States, it is the ""Second Sunday in May - (11 May in 2008)"". So, while we appreciate your enthusiasm, not all of our articles speak aloud to the user, and expect the smallest amount of reading to gleam information.      

 :Man, you're too nice to this asshat. Here, I'll do that for you: Go screw yourself, you illiterate monkey.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by     

 :I think he wanted to know the date.  That's what I was looking for.  What I discovered is that, like Thanksgiving, there is no fixed date.  Perhaps this is why so many people forget Mother's Day.   

 == Mother's Day in Japan == 

 The article throws out the statement that ""in Japan, Mother's Day is a heavily marketed concept""which, frankly, it's not.  Valentine's Day is heavily marketed and there is ample citable evidence.  Christmas is also heavily marketed and there is ample citable evidence.  So please remove this statement or add a citation.  As it stands, I think it is reckless at best, and flagrantly stereotyping Japanese culture at worst.  "
