Kevin Bacon and Friends

James Joyner | Friday, March 30, 2007

I received an email with the subject line “Kevin Bacon Invites You to Join Six Degrees.”

The body of the message was indeed such an invite, which describes Six Degrees as “a program which makes it easy for you to raise awareness and support for a charity that’s important to you.” So far, so good.

Then the pitch: “You may recognize some of my friends who have already joined me: Kyra Sedgwick, Jessica Simpson, Ashley Judd, Dana Delany, Jane Kaczmarek, Bradley Whitford, Kanye West, Rosie O’Donnell, and Nicole Kidman.”

Clearly, they have not done their market research very effectively if that thought this was somehow going to persuade me . . .

About the Author: James Joyner is the publisher of Outside the Beltway and the managing editor of the Atlantic Council. He's a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia with his wife and infant daughter.
