We’re running a little contest for the new USA Network original series, Burn Notice.
Apparently, we’re told by the show’s PR folk, when spies get fired, they don’t get a letter from human resources, they get a “burn notice.” Hey, Wikipedia backs that up.
The show stars Jeffrey Donovan (who looks shockingly like Guy Pearce) as a spy who has been given one of these dicey burn notice thingies. Basic premise: he’s been fired from his job and has to investigate who did it to him and why. Watch out, unsuspecting world!
It sounds like the last third of Mr. and Mrs. Smith to us, but hey, at least it’s not ANOTHER cop drama solving murders while blaring The Who.
No word yet on who is doing the soundtrack or if the phones will go bllleppdooreep like on 24.
Now who wants to win some spygear crap?
What You Can Win:
-Secret Agent 5-in-1 Money Clip
-Secret Agent Flashlight & Cell Phone Charger
-Secret Agent Invisible Message UV Pen
How to Win:
Leave a comment about the how you’ve been fired from a job (being a super secret spy secret agent is optional). On July 18, we’ll pick one of the comments randomly using a secret algorithm only known to us and a mystery voice coming from a box on our desk.
You’ll win all this cool spy swag to impress the ladies (ladies just love a 5-in-1 Money Clip you can’t take through airport security).
Burn Notice premieres Thursday, June 28th at 10pm/9c on USA. More information here.
