Ron Jeremy: The Internet Makes People Stupid
The Hedgehog hates the internet.
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.
"The internet has allowed a lot of crooks, thieves and squatters to become millionaires. Normally, they wouldn't get a job washing dishes," Jeremy said in an interview with the BBC. "I have a lot of problems with the internet and with identity theft. It has happened to me twice with my bank account, so I am not a big fan."
Also adding to his hate pile is that the internet is threatening an industry which he made over 2,000 movies for. "People can download stuff for free these days, so why the heck are they going to buy it? The only ones making money out of porn are the novelty companies," Jeremy added.
"I just hate the internet in general," he said.
But his hate for the internet goes beyond just what it's been doing to the porn industry. Jeremy, as a former educator, believes that the internet has a detrimental impact on today's users.
"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."

For once he actually has a point!
Silly Hedge Hog, kids are not using the internet as an easy source of information, they are using it for pROn. And with pron constantly on the mind, how could one possibly ever memorize anything?
He always had a point. A real big 'point' That's why he infamous.
This is seriously ridiculous. The internet is only a tool that people use as an aid for quick answers, but for real education and work, you cannot solely rely on the internet for answers, as it does not help you THINK. I have a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering..I'm sure that's more impressive than any of your three degrees.
IMO, knowing stuff doesn't make you intelligent; it's what you do with information that does. So Internet might make people ignorant and/or uncultured, but probably not stupid; that people are able to achieve on their own
.
Don't we just love this guy?
By the way, I believe it's about 1,750 films.
Coming from the guy who got famous by sucking his own c**k on camera...
Marcus is incapable of writing an article without obvious grammatical errors. For example: "Jeremy, as a former educator, believes that the internet has a detrimental on today's users."
Can everyone see the mistake? Or has the internet made you too stupid?
When did toms start quoting porn star?
Hey, the man has a point. But I think it's technology in general. We used to remember phone numbers, now they are all stored in a cell phone. If you need to know something, you can just look it up. You can rely on everyone else to do everything for you if you had the money and wanted to. And I can see his point from his industry, who actually pays for it anymore? There are a lot of thieves, pirates, con men, and just plain criminals online. But then again, they used to be roaming the streets, now they roam online. Technology can help educated and make people know knowledgeable. It can also cause people to stop relying on themselves and become idiots. Soon, one will live above ground, the other below. HAHA.
Ron Jeremey: What bitches, you think you can watch me suck my own cock for free? Where the fuck did you go to school, eh?
When did toms start quoting porn star?
No Clue, Absolutely DISGUSTING!!!!!
No Clue, Absolutely DISGUSTING!!!!!
the guy is smart don't take out of him,
he knew he was going to be fat when he grew old, and the guy when and enrolled in finishing his BS
and is true the internet have a detrimental impact in nowadays users..
He's full of sh!t. The internet has made the pron industry more money than it would have made without the internet. Sure people download stuff for free, you hear this from every entertainment industry. But it has also made all these forms of media way more accessible. People can buy it now without having to go to a store and walk up with a stack of pron looking liking a pervert. Theres plenty of rich people with membership accounts to all the various pron sites, otherwise there wouldnt be any. Sure, maybe his films arent flying off the shelves, but people are making bank off of internet pron. Pron still generates more money than almost all other industries in the world.
Speak for yourself dude.
Obscenely obese tub of goo, how in the world did this guy get to where he is in life. Long ding dong or not, what a dirtbag. Only in America I guess! The internet is the best thing to come around since the airplane, the car the ball gag lol.
...and he's going out of business cause he gives it all away
Stupid people download porn for free!
O, tempora, o mores!
I could care less what his fat nasty ass has to say. Just go back to your drugs and whores and shut up....
I think he had too much internet already.
I'm sorry Jeremy , but People are making people stupid.
"The Internet" I'm assuming he is referring to the World Wide Web and not the network that allows the hosting if thousands of services that make HIS life easier. I guess ignorance is... well... ignorance.
I've progressed more because of the internet than any other source of education. The Internet, if used properly, really does empower the users.
If Ron thinks he's losing profit from internet porn now, just wait until the day comes when he has to pay for all the adultery he's committed in his life.
We'll see who has treasure and who doesn't.
I don't see why Tom's would entertain any article about the affects of internet on people/children from a porn star who has caused more harm through his "profiteering" than many, many other folks.
Pot: "Mr. Kettle. You sir... are black."
Kettle: "Umm... So are you?""
Despite Ron Jeremy's occupation, I have to agree with him. The ease of information procurement seems to be proportional to it's loss. The editor of Circuit Cellar said nearly the same thing a year ago. IE its not just the "dirtbags" that are seeing this trend.
Kids ARE stupid. I agree being more stupid than my grandfather, but kids of today are more stupid then me,
so,
in other words, all kids should just be indoctrinated, because they are stupid anyways, and nothing good comes from something stupid... so.. Let's create the game for kids to jump off the highest building. The one who jumps the highest one wins!
That is generalized BS.
Internet only makes you stupid if you let it! No one if famous by saying the good aspects of the net because they speak for themselves....
If i see someone becoming stupid because of the internet, so the f what?
People make choices! its freedom..!
"The Hedgehog hates the internet.", yeah but not too much. just enough to keep using for his own profit..!
The internet may stupefy some people? absolutely.
The internet MAKES people stupid? makes just as much sense as saying that cars MAKE people dead.
Parents make children stupid because they tell them about things they ask about.
Libraries make people stupid because all you have to do it look stuff up.
Has anyone heard these before? I think not. But same reasoning.
"I have a lot of problems with the internet and with identity theft. It has happened to me twice with my bank account" and the Nigerian princess has not called you back right? what a quack.
Maybe he should have used a stronger password then "mydickishuge" lol just kidding Ron
The only movie I watched that had him in it was Orgazmo and he was great in it lol Also Ron I didn't download it 
I bought it on special edition. By the way Toms Hardware readers if you have not seen this movie.... Go Go GOOO!!! watch it now!!! its funny 
Seems like he's pist off that some leet haxor hacked his accounts.
OK! Hahahahaha, Internet does not make people stupic, I really think that this guy is angry since everydoy can just download free things over the internet instead paying for them, I am not going to pay $12 to get a book about Christopher Columbus I just want to know the year that he discovers America! I mean thinks are easier nowdays that what they use to be, when this guy gets his degree they where simple maths! now we have complex things that he is not even going to understand! Time changes and people does also, so you have to adjust to it.
He's like Bill Clinton. Just can't stay out of the news ...
