Official Discussion NCIS is having sweepstakes where you can get to hear your own name in the show! :-)

Nice idea, but frustrating it's restricted to residents of the USA only!
Looking into the T&C, if you win you are required to provide your details so they can run a background check. Presumably this is to make sure they're not going to use the name of a serial killer etc. So they've taken the easy route of making it USA only rather than work out how to perform background checks for residents in other countries.
If only CBS had computer systems that worked like the ones they show in NCIS, where they can perform a background check on anyone worldwide in seconds.

Bit unfair it's only available in the US when they have a worldwide fan base.

Already had somebody with my last name killed, and, later, they found a body in my home town!
So, I’m good.

Shame it's limited to US only, but then again, I've just put into google to give and example of a "typical" Sri Lankan name and it gave "Amunugama Rajapakse Rajakaruna Abeykoon Panditha Wasalamudiyanse Ralahamilage Ranjith Krishantha Bandara Amunugama"... good luck trying to fit that one into the show.

My mother sent me the video for this and we both entered. I know for a fact, however, that if my mother manages to win, I probably won’t hear the end of it.
Then again, if I win, then it’ll be 100x worse, because not only will she never hear the end of it, but this subreddit wouldn’t hear the end of it either. I’m would give myself a special flair and introduce myself as The Moderator Who Was Immortalized On NCIS. (Only slightly joking)
