SCI FI Channel is giving a viewer that chance to be killed in an upcoming original movie in a promotion for its "SCI FI Saturday: The Most Dangerous Night of Television" programming block.

To enter to win a "Die-On" role in an upcoming SCI FI original action film, slated to premiere in SCI FI's Saturday 9 p.m. ET/PT timeslot, viewers can simply text the word "DIE" to the short code 72434. Contenders can also enter on the SCI FI Saturday Web site (http://www.scifi.com/scifisaturday/). The winner will be selected randomly and given a trip for two to the filming location of an upcoming SCI FI original movie. The deadline to enter is May 26.

With two original world-premiere movies each month, plus a host of other genre features, SCI FI's Saturday-night offerings include the full range of modern science fiction fare, including monster and disaster movies, SF/fantasy films and creative re-imaginings of popular theatrical franchises such as the Species, Pumpkinhead and Lake Placid movies.

So, basically, we have the chance to become a "Red Shirt" (see: Star Trek for the meaning of that reference.)

Species the T.V. series? You have a point. But they do have BSG. I hear that that's quite good.

Well, being a Civil War reenactor, I've "died" on camera quite a few times for the History Channel or whoever. :D

I may just sign up for this and become a genuine "redshirt". "Hey! That's me getting my brains sucked out by the giant chinchilla!" A star is born. :anime:

I wouln't mind doing the good ol' echoing "ARRGH ARRGH ARRAGH" thing from MGS at least once for good reason.
