KEVIN BACON SIX DEGREES OF HATE

description

Livid Kevin furious at game named after him!

Back in 1994 students developed a game called Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon based on the theory all film actors can be traced back to the Footloose star.

Bacon finally admits he was more than irritated when he discovered the egocentric premise of the challenge until he did something about it.

"I realized that it was staying in the zeitgeist, so there was actually something that could be done with it," Bacon admitted.

"I just like the notion of the connectivity of people – not to Kevin Bacon, but to each other. If you take me out of the equation, it’s a very important and beautiful thing."

The result of Kev’s epiphany —  SixDegrees.org which matches charities to donors. 

So far, the  site has raised $2.6 million since its online launch.
