I have become a regular reader of The Guardian over the last month or so. I read in last saturdays edition that they will be giving away a free copy of Supersize me today. It is a great movie, and after watching Morgan Spurlock‘s 30 Days series a few weeks ago followed closely by the documentary itself, it has rekindled my respect for the guy and for what he is does.

Though the free dvd with newspapers thing. I read an article in relation to this not so long ago citing the fact that many newspapers still do it to increase sales, especially the tabloids (or my preferred title, red tops). Over the course of this week I have seen a TV advertisement for this free dvd many times – and I hardly watch any TV.

This won’t be the deciding factor in my continued reading of The Guardian, I made that decision a few weeks ago. Though are you going to buy it now as a result of hearing of this free giveaway?
Morgan Spurlock also has a blog which makes for some good reading if you want to keep up-to-date.
