Twixters (TV series)
''(Twixters )'' is an International Multiplatform Comedy Series inspired by the TIME Magazine. The series was created in 2007 by satirist/filmmaker Dan Speerin of the sketch comedy group Cynically Tested to satirize life as a Millennial and to mock the false perceptions of Generation Y. The series was co-produced by fellow Cynically Tested members Alan So and Aravinth Vince Kesavamoorthy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UofT Magazine - My Generation: Twixters take on 20-something stereotypes )〕 Twixters aired on Bite TV in Canada and Propeller TV in UK.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Canadian Twenty-Somethings Strike Back With Satirical Answer to MySpace/NBC's "Quarterlife" )〕 The series also aired on Triangle Stratos in New Zealand. Twixters' success and the stance of its creator on Millennial Life was featured in the Toronto Star. Other media coverage for the series included Sun TV's Canoe Live, G4 Tech TV, and The Eye Weekly Magazine. The show’s indie success is mainly due to its utilization of interactive social platforms as YouTube, Facebook, MySpace and Blogs. Part of their success is based on their rebuttal on YouTube to the piece on Millennials by 60 Minutes on CBS titled Twixters vs 60 Minutes Millennials,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Twixters vs 60 Minutes Millennials )〕 and Millennials Fight Back!.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Millennials Fight Back! (60 Minutes Spoof) )〕 The latter video was covered by CBS Interactive’s BNET evoking greater discussion about the fairness of the coverage of the millennial generation by 60 Minutes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CBS Interactive's BNET - Spoofing Millennial Management )〕 An interactive component of Twixters is also available on Not Like Us Productions’ Cynically Tested Channel on MySpace, Facebook and YouTube 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Sly Oyster - Twixters – a Canadian comedy )〕 and can be viewed at (www.twixterstv.com )

The TV series and its various multiplatform components continues to be a part of the social lexicon when discussing the millennial generation, as it has been referred to by educational, technological, political, business and marketing platforms as well as university curriculum. Some such examples include Inside Higher ED,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Inside Higher ED - Janus Generation )〕 Future Majority,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Future Majority - Twixters Vs. 60 Minutes )〕 Workforce Management’s HR Capitalists,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=HR Capitalists - Why Can't Gen Y Admit They Are Difficult? )〕 and h+ Magazine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Children of the Law of Accelerating Returns )〕 Jerry Pattengale, the founder of Purpose-Guided Education has cited content of the series in his text. Dr. Scott Bryant of Montana State University has also utilized various content of the show as part of his course. As a testament to their success in provoking discussion in the subject matter, Twixters’ creators and producers were invited to be guest panelists and speakers at the Millennials Conference Canada at Canadian Music Week 2008. Speerin and his team continue to be the voice of Generation Y as can be seen from the multi-page Ottawa Citizen print article in 2011.
