5 Reasons Why We Love Awkward Embraces

April 13, 2011 Filed in: , ,

Our intern, Shoshana, weighs in on Awkward Embraces – the new web obsession over at Moderation Town headquarters

Ever go on an extremely BAD date? Like uncomfortably shifting in your seat, why didn’t I plan an escape root, oh my g-d, why isn’t this date over bad? Well if you have, you can at least find comfort in the fact that you’re not alone. Awkward Embraces is a hilarious web series which follows three women through their amazingly twisted dating experiences, all completely based on their real life dating woes. But that is not the only reason why we love the show, so we bring you 5 reasons why we love Awkward Embraces (and why you’ll love it too). (more…)

Dear Moderator Jerks,

Like A Cashmere Sweater Or A High Class Escort, You Can Buy Us Now Too

March 30, 2011 Filed in: , ,

Hey N00bs, exciting news over here at Moderation Town headquarters (aka, the back table at Burger King) – we’re officially on iTunes Canada! And we’re the first Canadian webseries to be in the iTunes store – TAKE THAT EPIC MEAL TIME!

For the low, low price of 7.99, you can buy Season One (plus additional outtakes) in HD – and we all know just how hunky Christian is in HD. Yowza. Of course, while you’re on your Moderation Town spending spree, you should probably head over to our merch store and pick up a mug or two, cos there’s nothing quite as satisfying as drinking a cup of hot cocoa out of your Alex LOL mug while obsessively watching season one outtakes. Trust me, I know. I’m doing it right now.

Hobo With A Shotgun

March 25, 2011 Filed in: , ,

We asked one of Moderation Town’s writers, Stephan McLeod, to tell us all about the premiere screening of Hobo With a Shotgun

I’ve been afraid to walk the streets in my neighbourhood after seeing the hometown premiere of the Halifax-filmed Hobo With a Shotgun. The film opens with a brutal decapitation via a manhole cover I’ve probably walked by dozens of times. When Rutgar Hauer’s unnamed hobo decides to buy a shotgun instead of the lawnmower he always wanted, he’s in a pawn shop set in a building I walk by on my way to the beer store. And when some poor guy’s head explodes after being placed between two bumper cars, it’s at an amusement park I went to as a kid. The sense of dread I had with each gorey scene of this movie has now tainted my hometown with a nightmarish sensibility that makes me scared to go out at night in fear of insanely violent comic book characters. I think I’d be comforted if I was accompanied by a hobo, or at least a shotgun to protect me from the imaginary evils this movie has inserted into my psyche. (more…)

How To Be A Jerk On Twitter

February 23, 2011 Filed in: , , , , ,

Jerk |jərk| noun: a contemptibly obnoxious person

Want to be the ultimate jerk on twitter, then do exactly what the critics state all tweeters do: be a self-involved douchebag.

ReTweet Compliments

Let everyone know that your best friend or significant other thinks you’re the bee’s knees. ReTweet that shit because 90% of your followers don’t know you in a real life and this is the ONLY way to demonstrate to them that not only do you have a social life, but that your IRL friends like you so much they’ll give you a virtual high five. And hey, if you don’t have any IRL friends, no worries – ReTweet the compliments all your internet friends give you. It’s called spreading the (self) love. Consider it like social-media-masturbation, cos it’ll make you feel good to stroke your…ego. (more…)
