It appears to only be available in the US and Canada versions of the store, but I can’t see anything saying you can’t go to the Canada store and get it there from anywhere in the world (for example)… The second link below will probably only work if you’re in the US or Canada, but the first link should work from anywhere.

The SuperMes is a brand new show built and recorded inside The Sims™ 3. Four characters – Clare, Anita, Ryan and Robert – are all about to start sharing a house together. It’s Clare’s first time living away from her family, and she is a pretty shy and awkward girl. We follow her as she starts settling in, and we watch as the four of them learn how to behave together, how to get what they really want, and what life is actually all about. It all took place in The Sims™ 3 And we recorded everything exactly as it happened.

The show is attached to some sort of web game that “helps you to be better at life” — you can find out more on the website.
