Have You Ever Wondered What Ron Jeremy Thinks About the Internet?

I could lie and say this question has consumed me day and night, but it hasn't.  I barely care what Ron Jeremy thinks about pornography and he's the king of pornography.

And it's not that I have trouble respecting the brain of a man best known for his penis.

I've seen Ron Jeremy in person one time in my life.  It was in Los Angeles, backstage at a Tool concert (don't ask).  A number of recognizable faces were milling around, not a bad little scene.  And Ron Jeremy was the only person wearing sweatpants.

And that's it: I can't respect the opinions of a man who would wear sweatpants backstage to a concert.  Obviously, if you're wearing sweatpants in public after the age of 23, your sense of what's right and wrong has gone out the window at some point.

But, in case you have wondered what Ron Jeremy thinks about the Internet, Maggie Shiels of BBC News (the new organization that I most respected until this very moment) asks him in an article published earlier today.

"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.  I just hate the internet in general."

So basically, according to Ron Jeremy, because of the Internet the porn industry is getting f***ed.

Hey, at least you got paid for it the first time around.
