Ron Jeremy says video games are worse than porn

[~~whimsy~~]

Notorious porn star Ron Jeremy let himself down when trying to defend his industry at a CES panel. When deflecting attacks from an anti-porn activist, the adult entertainment star chose not to stand up for pornography on its own merits, but tried to deflect the argument onto a scapegoat, claiming videogames were worse.
"[Studies have] found that violent video games are much bigger a negative influence on kids," claims the man known as The Hegehog. He argued that porn doesn't market itself to kids, therefore shouldn't be considered a problem, completely ignoring the fact that violent games aren't supposed to be for children either.

Jeremy insisted that the industry only caters to the over-18 crowd. "We don't want kids to watch porn," he told the crowd. Though if they do, he added, there are far worse influences out there — like video games. "[Studies have] found that violent video games are much bigger a negative influence on kids."
Gross, on the other hand, argued that even while the porn industry may not be targeting children specifically, the Internet has made adult content nearly ubiquitous.
"The Internet has changed the game completely. What we used to have to work hard to find, you now have to work hard to avoid," Gross said.

Kind of sad to see Ron Jeremy do the same thing that people do to the porn business: point fingers and scapegoat for lack of parenting, ultimately.

We have M-rated games as well as R-rated movies; both are treated differently. It seems M-rated games are to be blamed a lot, while rated-R films are considered harmless and simple movie entertainment.

We have porn films and violent video games; both are blamed by parents for apparently raising their children the wrong way while the parents are off doing who knows what.

In the end the parents need to wake up and get a clue and realize what is being brought into their homes and what their children can be exposed to, are being exposed to, and what they are surrounding themselves in.

Now we have Ron Jeremy blame violent video games when he seemingly can't stand up for his line of work. What did he expect? I would think he has the argument down to pat by now or able to gracefully get out of it. :dunno:

Either way it is interesting to see how at one time what was persecuted is now doing the persecuting to get out of hot water.

All I can say to this is.. Video Games industry was one of the few that stepped up to regulate itself. Yes its not perfect but they did it. I don't want to point fingers but the games have ratings for a reason. I am no more violent then I was before I started playing video games. My opion as to why.. people that watched after me and taught me well. I grew up on video games. I think parents need to make sure they know what thier kids are playing.

You can't deny your video game roots, Ron!

I don't think he's deflecting blame. He makes a good point.

Interestingly enough...I read an article on a news site a few days ago about how the porn industry is losing money big time. People don't buy porn dvd's anymore the way they used to.

One of the key factors they list as causing the decline in sales? Video games.

How funny! I just saw an ad for a new video game called Bonetown that has Ron Jeremy in it!

Jeremy just seems like a sore loser. Hollywood used to be a sore loser, a bit like Jeremy is at the moment.

I read somewhere last year that for the past four years or more, the video games industry has made more money than Hollywood has done from world wide takings. And the movie industry combated this lack of income by making games into movies to try and win over the gamers out there. They know it wont win over people like myself and some others than can also think for themselves. But the sheep will buy into it and support the game to movie ideas that are created. And thus it will make the movie industry a little more money.

Video Games stimulates the mind (like improving puzzle solving skills) and improves the reflexes you have. Porn just gives you a right arm like Arnold the Governor has due to the exercise the arm gets, and in the process it makes your cock and balls sore from all the wanking you do to it. So how is porn better than video games, Ron Jeremy, you rectum faced pygmy!. Get better educated in the matter before mouthing off on video games!. I've been playing games for years, mate!, I know what I am talking about!. There's nothing wrong with Porn or Video Games. But it pisses me off when dicks like him attack games because it seems like the cool thing to do these days by idiots ill informed of how games work.

For some people it is.
have you ever known anybody who plays a video game all day, everyday?
it aint healthy.
True story. I had a room mate here for a month.
he would play call it duty 4 all day and night.
never leave the house.
smoking weed out of a homemade apple pipe and eating cereal.
His girlfriend would come over sometimes.
One time I heard them, she obviously wanted some sex.
she's like come to the bed baby (colombian chic)
He responded more than once with. "wait a minute, lemme just kill this guy". "i gotta kill this guy".
Let me just kill this guy?
Thats fucked up.
