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 Six Degrees of Separation.
Bacon himself spoofed that game during an appearance in a Visa Check Card TV commercial. He also referenced the game on an episode of Will and Grace 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."

Threesome issue
Kevin Bacon, Colin Firth and Rachel Blanchard have a menage a trois in their new film, Where the Truth Lies. Bacon and director Atom Egoyan have condemned the MPAA ratings board decision to give the film their "NC-17" rating over the preferable "R".
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 clothes on."
