'Big Bang' contest offers a trip to Comic-Con

Sometimes when I get home from work, I just want to relax in front of the TV (with a delicious beverage) and laugh. What do I often turn to? Big Bang Theory reruns.

I know I'm not alone; I mean, my parents watch Big Bang, too. And for the next two weeks, I think a lot of viewers will be paying attention to the show when a contest offers one fan a trip to Comic-Con in San Diego.

Starting May 20, Hot Topic is launching a nightly contest during Big Bang Theory repeats in syndication. Spot Sheldon's special Hot Topic T-shirt, enter it at BigBangContest.com and you'll be eligible to win a bunch of prizes, including that highly coveted Comic-Con trip.

Why Hot Topic? The chain just launched a line of Star Trek/Big Bang crossover merchandise. Head here to browse/buy stuff like bobbleheads with Sheldon dressed as Spock and Leonard as Captain Kirk, T-shirts and more.

The contest lasts through May 31. Fans can also enter buy purchasing a BBT shirt from Hot Topic.
