Ron Jeremy: The Internet Makes People Stupid
Tom's Hardware ^ | Jan 12, 2009 | Marcus Yam

When Ron Jeremy spoke out in a debate, he said that video games were more harmful to children than pornography. Now, it seems, the Hedgehog has an issue with the internet.

"I just hate the internet in general," he said.

"It's good because you can research any topic," Jeremy explains. "In my day, we went to the encyclopedia for that. Nowadays, though, kids can't memorise anything. No dates, no times tables, no history. If there is anything you need to know, you just press a few buttons. We could be giving rise to a generation of idiots.

"I am a former school teacher, I have a masters degree and two BAs, and I think the internet is making people stupid."

Jeremy's attack on the Internet has nothing to do with it's perceived harm to kids educationally. It's killing off traditional pornography, and making porn stars like Jeremy obsolete (though I'm sure RJ "got his" prior to the porn Internet boom).

Ron retired sometime ago. I'll tell him what you said when I see him in April at a friends BD party.

Standard segue to a porn career these days it seems.

>The Internet Makes People Stupid

Yet here we are...RJ had an interview once with John Ziegler when he was still with KFI, and Ron Ron was pimping his book. RJ’s mom used to work for the precursor of the CIA, and Ziegler went for the jugular later in the interview thinking this dude is an idiot liberal horndog like George cLooney: RJ’s knowledge of the Constitution and Bill Of Rights was scaringly spot-on. The callers who piped in later they couldn’t believe this guy who banged more broads than most dudes could interpret the BOR correctly, especially the 2nd Amendment.
