Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Becomes Charity Promotion

Either Kevin Bacon has a great sense of humor or he finally got sick of the whole “six degrees of Kevin Bacon” and decided to cash in. Adland received a promotional email from “Kevin Bacon” promoting a program called Six Degrees which “makes it easy for you to raise awareness and support for a charity that’s important to you.” The email urges recipients to make their own Six Degrees AIM page to highlight charity an individual is interested in and promises to help the individual raise money for that charity. It’s a social networking play that’s a nod to the “six degrees of separation” thing that was, itself, social networking before it was called social networking.

As Adland properly states, the choice of Kevin Bacon is the “best choice of celebrity spokesperson for 2007.” We’d have to agree.

Research suggests the loneliest demographic in most developed countries isn’t who you’d expect — it’s not the elderly, the single, or the isolated, it’s married men between 55 and 75 who have a partner in the house, adult children who call occasionally, and not a single person on earth they would describe as a close friend, and most of them don’t identify it as loneliness because they were never taught what connection is supposed to feel like

Psychology says the reason older adults talk to their pets with more honesty than they talk to their families isn’t eccentricity, it’s that the animal offers something almost no human relationship can sustain—complete emotional availability without judgment, agenda, or the possibility that today’s vulnerability will be referenced in tomorrow’s argument

Nobody talks about the version of loneliness that lives inside a perfectly fine marriage—the kind where nothing is wrong, nobody is cruel, the partnership functions exactly as designed—but somewhere around year twenty-five one person realized they’d been having their most honest conversations in their own head
