Kevin bacon day? i guess all the fun is over now? what will next year bring us?
~X~
Yeah,NOT COOL I heard that Kevin Bacon change some of my review!!!
I'm sorry, but all this Kevin Bacon this, Kevin Bacon that, now I can't stop thinking of that stupid Beggin' Strips commercial where the camera follows around behind the vantage point of the nose of a dog who goes running around saying "Bacon bacon bacon! Iiiiiittttt's BACONNNNN!!! BACON BACON BACON!" Beggin' Strips.... dogs don't know it's not Kevin Bacon. Or something.
But what's the point of this, anyway? Why does a rich and famous hollywood actor get to come onto a site like this, and somehow compel all sorts of Kevin Bacon related games and videos? Or did someone else do something to set all this off and he didn't actually do any of it? He certainly had nothing to do with the hard part of making all that content, right? I see the "inspired by Kevin Bacon" in the Tremors game, but it's not like he's creating these flash videos and games HIMSELF, right? That would be another matter entirely. That would be artistic. But this, isn't this kind of presumptuous? Granted there is certainly a long line of people I would LESS like to hear say "Youth of the world: behold my splendor, and use your talents to glorify me!" Yeah, Oprah, I'm talking to you. But the list of those who I wouldn't be annoyed by saying something like that is indeed a very short one. Actually most of the people on that list are dead. Like Carl Sagan, Benjamin Franklin, Edgar Allan Poe, Franz Kafka, and Henry Kuttner.
Why don't we take a week to glorify a dead guy instead? Let's have a "Glorify Benjamin Franklin week". The possibilities are endless there. You know, you can have a flash game for instance, where Benjamin Franklin got stone drunk and in his stupor, invented a time machine and went and screwed up time, and now he has to go through all time to collect the parts for a super-weapon that will be used to defeat the likes of an army of robot George W. Bushes from an alternate universe, and along the way he meets up with Bill and Ted, Walt Disney who turns out to actually be an alien mouse merely disguised as a human, and Commander Keen. There's a premise worthy of being made into a game. But friggin' Kevin Bacon? Give me a break!
