The commercial for Logitech Revue with Google TV in which an obsessed Kevin Bacon fan is played by none other than Bacon himself is now a documentary on YouTube, and the character Bacon portrays, Ivan Cobenk, “editor-in-chief of Bacon Quarterly,” posted about it on the YouTube Blog:
Hey, everyone, this is Ivan Cobenk — No. 1 Kevin Bacon fan in the world, and founder and solo member of The Other Bacon Brothers, Akron’s leading Bacon Brothers cover band. I’m also fairly well known amongst YouTubers because of the documentary that was made about me recently. You can even see how I use YouTube to find my favorite Kevin clips (or Bacon Bits, as I like to call them). The guys at Logitech used a few clips from the film to advertise their new Revue gizmo with Google TV. Nearly 2 million people have already watched it on YouTube. That’s almost 10 times the population of Akron, by gosh!
