Ron Jeremy made quite the mark in Vegas this weekend. He has stepped in a heaping pile of “leet” shit, but for the benefit of developing minds.

Ron spent his time in Vegas hopping back and forth between the Adult Entertainment Expo and the Consumer Electronics Show which happened simultaneously. During his time at CES, his main goals were to stand up for the adult entertainment business and promote internet safety through InternetSafety.com. Unfortunately, it seems Ron Jeremy’s message has been a bit convoluted.

Gaming is a subject that hits very close to this writer’s heart. “Studies have found that violent video games are a much bigger negative influence on kids,” Ron Jeremy stated at CES. Since this statement, many Gamer blogs have responded negatively towards Ron. As an avid adult gamer myself, I would urge you to see this point of view for what it really is.

For example, take the most popular violent title today, “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.” If playing the title over a network such as XBOX Live, I’m sure anyone over the age of 25 would say, “hearing a 10 year blurt out obscenities after shooting you in the face is a little ridiculous.” This is the type of thing Ron Jeremy is obviously making his statement about. I, as a gamer, could never think someone who most recently starred in a commercial series for a violent cartoon fighting game, would be publicly attacking the genre’s very existence as a whole.

It is implied by Ron Jeremy that neither Pornography nor Violent Gaming are acceptable for children. In the interest of Internet Safety, which is why Ron was in attendance, both should be censored by parents for their children’s sakes. Violent Gaming is widely more accepted by parents than Pornography in the home, but also has adverse effects. As an advocate of parental responsibility with regards to technology, Ron’s need to bring attention to this isn’t all that “off the wall.”

Between Porn and Gaming, Porn has most certainly gotten the short end of the stick in public media. Be that as it may, you still don’t see as many 12 year old children having sex on camera as you do see the same age group regurgitating offensive phrases they hear over video games. Porn has done much to protect minors from viewing it’s materials. Gaming has also instituted ratings for mature games and such, but has nowhere close to the success rate of the Adult Industry in comparison.

So calm down all you avid adult gamers out there. This one was meant for the kids.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5 — Ron Jeremy, the adult film star who is ranked as America’s top porn actor by the Adult Video Network, is encouraging parents to take steps to protect children from pornography when they are surfing the Internet. Jeremy is recommending the use of tools such as InternetSafety.com’s Safe Eyes family Internet management software to automatically block access to online pornographic content.

“Porn is definitely not for kids. Take it from someone who has worked in the industry for years,” Jeremy said. “Internet filtering is an easy way to prevent kids from being exposed to this stuff, and I think that every parent should use a product like Safe Eyes.”
