Pornstar: “Games Harm Kids More Than Porn!”

Hirsute porn legend Ron Jeremy recently accused games of being more dangerous to children than pornography, speaking at the “Great Porn Debate”, an event held at the Consumer Electronics Show.
“Studies have found that violent video games are a much bigger negative influence on kids,” he said, comparing them to the very industry which made him famous, and apparently failing to cite which studies have found porn to have a negative influence on children.
Some of Jeremy’s most reactionary comments at the CES were from his denouncing of games as being an unfit method of child-rearing and calling upon the bevy of technology the porn industry employs to deter children from viewing the material:
“Because we make porn, we are the bad guys. We don’t want kids to watch porn but yes we recognise that it happens… Parents should watch what their kids are doing online and take some responsibility. Don’t blame us. We have disclaimers, age notifications and software blockers. We are doing our bit.”
Given the search trends of the younger generation, these efforts seem to have been futile.
Jeremy, a former teacher and veteran of over 2,000 adult movies, has also been vocal in criticising the Internet:
“I am a former school teacher, I have a masters degree and two BAs, and I think the Internet is making people stupid,” he said in an interview. “I just hate the Internet in general.”
Jeremy believes schoolchildren don’t have a desire for the old-fashioned ways of studying or research, when all that can be completed with a quick search online: “We could be giving rise to a generation of idiots.”

Also, health benefits of masturbation using porn must be quoted to further drive in the attack!
“I am a former school teacher, I have a masters degree and two BAs, and I think the Internet is making people stupid,” he said in an interview. “I just hate the Internet in general.”
The internet is a showcase of stupid people silly. Back in the good old days when some basic sense and technical knowledge is required to get on the tubes, nobody said that the internet is stupid or making people stupid.
He should mention how the internet leads to piracy which cuts into his own profits from the adult movies he made.
Also, from context, doesn't it make Eroge the greatest evil?
equality now is on here so shut your mouth!
Then eroge can harm by twice
games... porn... theyre both awesome.
No seeing Ron Jeremy in porn, is more harmful then any other violent video game ever.
good point.
*fixed: porn without Ron Jeremy is awesome.
**further fixed: Ron Jeremy is not awesome.
But Ron is fucking funny in a Mario costume
lmao at @12:47 XD
Kip basically rocks at picture selection.
When Ron Jeremy put on the gloves in that pic, do you think he put his middle finger and index finger together, this middle and ring fingers together, or his ring finger and pinky together?
"Studies have found"... damn near everything to be true and false.
Why do we care about this guys again? Oh yeah his penis.
In that case, Mr. Ed says video games are good for you. I'll listen to Mr. Ed. He's got you beat.
Jeremy is a moron, pushing the blame somewhere else without thinking, he is just as prejudiced as those attacking him.
I also despise the use of "studies have found ..." as if that was the Word of God (I'm atheist btw.) Really, pseudoscience is as overabused as religious speeches.
He's right on spot on "Parents should watch what their kids are doing." But that's it.
Well... I agree with him that having a child just play games is not the right method of raising said child... It's the same as TV, really.
Want your kids having useful brains? Raise them yourself, don't let a machine take over the task.
And the internet, making us idiots? Then he doesn't know what the internet can do. Yes, you can find stuff with little effort, but most of what is there in the internet is either incomplete or wrong. It takes a good search effort to actually obtain the full picture. Not that different from searching in encyclopedias, which can be outdated in as short as MONTHS after you bought them, not to mention the source, publisher and time it was made.
I like encyclopedias a lot, but seriously, the internet is just as useful, if not more.
Mhm, good point.
By the way, I think idiots are those people who just type key words in google and the material found (of course sometimes incorrect, incomplete or/and suspicious) use for school or at work without looking further for more complete information or correct answers. Thats really pity.
All in all, listen to the man. He knows his bit, and I have to say I agree. I think it's all about the silly assumption (eg. in the US mass media) that mild violence is more tolerable than sexual content. I dunno where it comes from, maybe from the fact that while "missbehaviour" in both areas can happen, the violent things (eg. beating someone) cause serious legal punishments on the kid itself, while (non violent) sexual ones (eg. early sexual relationships) on most occasions end up in fines paid by the parents, and as such are more likely to occur. But he thing is that mass media builds up an image that children should be better shielded from the fully natural sexual activity, than from the violence. Look at any of the US TV action series - 5 bad guys die, but there ain't no sex scene...
Shit you're right look at the SAW movies those things are basically legal snuff films but it's alright nobody says a thing. Yet if anything shows the slightest bit of sex even if its the showing on female underwear people flip the fuck out if they're child sees it. Parents or Older adults seem to have an extreme double standard when it comes to violence and sex. Overall they can fuck whoever they want and beat the living the shit out of you. Yet for the young you have to wait for marriage and not lay a hand on anybody.
I noticed this cause look at all the ads that are sexually based they always have middle aged adults acting like horny teenagers. Yet don't the kids / teens learn about sex properly until something goes wrong. Cause teaching kids how to protect themselves sexually is somehow worse then lying about it and or not telling them anything at all. It's the same way with violence we can't fight each other shit even spitting / yelling at each other can get you thrown in jail, but there's ads on all the time wanting you to become a soldier and learn kill other people because its a "higher cause then oneself"
And yes I have to agree the Internet does make quite a few people stupid, but listing them here would take hours.
I think that the wrong information someone can get from the internet can make a person stupid. However, the internet itself is an awesome tool for communication AND information gathering, not to mention acquisition of software/media. I learned 80% of what I know about photoshop, illustrator, and Corel painter from the internet. Hell, I didn't even know some of those programs existed before I got online.
People blaming the internet for making people stupid, is, in itself stupid. It's just a tool. Might as well blame a kitchen knife when someone does something stupid and causes an injury.
100% by you
I'm pretty sure having sex is less dangerous an idea that killing people or beating them up.
Maybe that's just me with this crazy opinion.
killing wont give you a baby or an std :D
It can if your victim has a STD and you get his/her blood all over you :P
I don't know about you but the police don't call everyone I've had sex with "victims".
It's a lifestyle choice i guess.
The police call everyone I've had sex with, "victims"
:(
Jeremy believes schoolchildren don’t have a desire for the old-fashioned ways of studying or research, when all that can be completed with a quick search online: “We could be giving rise to a generation of idiots.”
old-fashioned ways of research is outdated ways of research which will ultimately lead to outdated research, therefore BAD
simple convenience of the internet quick search does not automatically make one an idiot, Jeremy is jumping to conclusions
Actually, he did mention the Internet as a reason for lost profits in pornography, save for sex-toy sales.
Though I don't think Jeremy himself has sold any video of worth as of recent via the Internet or otherwise.
I think he is just pissed at the internet because kids now can view porn for free and not do it the old fashion way of buying it. Him preaching about what is good for children is like satan teaching kids how to go to heaven. It just doesn't work.
QFT!
He doesn't like how the internet offers his services for free.
"Because we make porn, we are the bad guys."
Ron Jeremy making porn is only bad because he's such a fat ugly midget :D
"Because we make bad porn, we are the bad guys." fixed
Ron Jeremy should go suck his own dick. Not because i disagree with what his saying, but cause he can.
oh yeah, how many people can say they can actually do that?
Have you seen shortbus? There is a guy there who can.
> oh yeah, how many people can say they can actually do that?
Everyone can say.
But only 0.25% (one of 400) of men can do.
the Internet is making people stupid, lol
“I am a former school teacher, I have a masters degree and two BAs, and I think the Internet is making people stupid,”
I think he sucked on the first day of teaching students, did something embarrassing and it got uploaded to Youtube.
And since when did making babies become "less" harmful?
There are too many people on earth for nature to support. If our population keeps growing at the current rate then we will soon find ourselves fight over food and water. Having more than one child per couple is irresponsible. We should learn to control our population or we will all suffer. This is why ron jeremy is stupid.
CHINESE COMMIE! DIE COMMUNIST! DIE! THE WORLD WILL BE BETTER WITHOUT YOU!
Yeah, there will BE always stupid people around the world, no matter if we have Internet or not.
stupid people always existed, but thanks to the internet we are giving them a place to be notorious
God... Jeremy give it a rest.
He's just mad that people download his porn movies and he gets no money from it.
People download his porn movies?
The real problem he has with the internet is that it used to be the case that he and his ilk were the only game in town. Now, it's easier for more people to get into porn, so there are actually attractive people making porn now, and you can often get it for free. Which means no reason to buy anything with his ugly ass in it anymore. Seriously, his ass is hideous.
True, but the strange part some women want his fat cock in their mouth.
Is that his right leg... or his middle leg?
Me die with no internet.
No internet and no eroge make anonymous go crazy.
Internet has made research easier and I know because I use it. Ron Jeremy is total fail.
I played alot of games. I learned alot from them. Hell, I learned to be a good person because of RPGs!
True dat ya'll
Lawful Evil?
Nowadays, porn are disguised as games.
