Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

In the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, players are challenged to link any actor to Kevin Bacon through roles in movies common to both. The number of such links that must be followed between an actor and Kevin Bacon is known as that actor's Bacon number. The name is derived from, and the game conceptually inspired by, a movie called TV commercial, and in an episode of Mad About You in 1996. He also referenced the game on the season 5 episode "Bacon and Eggs" in which he played himself. The game has also been spoofed by The Onion, in an issue which showed, in six steps, how "Kevin Bacon [is] Linked to Al-Qaeda." [1] Also it was spoofed in a response to Bernard Goldberg's book the which instead said how Kevin Bacon is related to the 100 people who are screwing up America. A key movie to use in the quest to link Bacon and virtually any movie actor is "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" Because Bacon is linked to so many contemporary actors, and because "It's a Mad . . ." has so many actors with long and extensive careers who have crossed paths with Bacon's contemporaries, it's fairly easy to connect a large chunk of the acting community with Bacon.

Bacon decried the decision, commenting: "I don't get it, when I see films (that) are extremely violent, extremely objectable sometimes in terms of the roles that women play, slide by with an R, no problem, because the people happen to have more of their clothes on." [2]
