Of all the obligatory holiday-themed episodes that TV shows trudge out for us ever year, Mother’s Day (and to a certain extent Father’s Day—have there ever been episodes based around that seemingly much lesser Hallmark holiday?) seems the least defined.

One pretty unorthodox method of drumming up interest, though, was inviting director Tony Kaye (American History X, Lake of Fire) to make a short film about what Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks think about the simulated sex they make for the screen. Mean Magazine features this short as part of their cover story about the film. A bit reminescent of Errol Morris, Mean describes the short by saying, "Sex sells. Sex kills.
