Just got a pre-recorded phone message from DirecTV saying I can watch the first two episodes of The Tudors online for free by going to sho.com/tudors/directv and then using the password "king"Yeah, it's a marketing ploy. However, it's neat and free. Who are we to judge?—MEGHANN MARCO
Don't know if that's consumer worthy or if Showtime is intending on it being picked up by blogs like consumerist. Either way, it's kinda neat.
This is a test using rich text formatting and html links. It's the generic "company" ad that should appear on all posts with the Company category if they don't have an ad attached to a specific company.

Funny. I just called up DirecTV and told them that I didn't appreciate this type of unsolicited advertising.
Who are we to judge? Who are we to judge?! You're the friggin' Consumerist!
I suppose its "neat" in a horrible tv-show sort of way. But do please give us updates on other unsolicited advertising that happens to land in the inbox. Any viagra or paxel deals lately?
Well I appreciate it. I have Dish!
As a reader who doesn't have cable, but who was curious about this series, I appreciate the heads up.
I'm a sucker for these Masterpiece Theatre-y type series, and don't have Showtime. A chance to preview a few episodes might make me a customer of the service. I, too, appreciate the notice.
Plus, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is super hot. Put him in one of those puffy, falling off the shoulder, medieval shirts and I might just die.
All movies and TV shows are free on the internet. Heh...
