From the PR release:
July 5, 2007: Porn star Ron Jeremy teams up with a puppet to help kids stay away from pornography. In an upcoming public service announcement, Ron Jeremy, who has appeared in over 1800 adult films says, “Pornography is for consenting adults, not kids! We don’t want kids to see our videos.”
XXXchurch.com, the largest anti-pornography site on the Internet, produced the commercial. Founder and pastor of XXXchurch Craig Gross says, “If anyone knows that porn is not for kids, it would be Ron. Many in his industry speak out against this but very do anything about the fact that porn is way to accessible to kids now a days. I am thankful Ron is willing to speak up and do something.”
The public service announcement features Pete the Porno Puppet who tells kids not to be involved with pornography. Jeremy is featured as himself urging Pete to stay away from porn.
This is not the first time XXXchurch has joined together with a member of the adult industry. In 2003, XXXchurch created the first Pete the Porno Puppet commercial with a well-known porn producer James Digiorgio, A.K.A ”Jimmy D” in Southern California.
Others in the adult industry have come forward with support for the cause. Author and adult industry Journalist Luke Ford says, "Just as parents should not leave a loaded gun around the house, so too they should make efforts to protect their children from pornography.”
The new Pete the Porno Puppet commercial runs one-minute long and is slated to air in selected markets on the East Coast later this summer.
Ron Jeremy and Pastor Gross agree on this issue, but have very strong disagreements with most issues relating to porn. The pair will hit the road in August for “The Porn Debate.” Jeremy, and Gross, will debate the issues of pornography over the course of 7 days travelling in the same bus from Chicago to New York starting August 5, 2007. The duo has been debating on college campuses for the past two years together. This tour will be the first of its kind taking them off the campus and into the clubs and theaters in seven different cites in seven nights. More information about the tour can be found at www.porndebate.com.
Poor Wankus. Sitting there all alone, broke, lonely, unemployed, and the lowest, rat-bastard sellout job in Porn gets scooped up by the Hedgehog. Sad.
Are these 2 clowns actually attempting to INCREASE the numbers of underage porn viewers? Because that PRECISELY what will result from this utterly stupid campaign. And I don’t think this requires an explanation to anyone who did not somehow manage to completely bypasss their teen years.
The fact that someone would issue a PR release with such glaring grammatical and spelling errors in English communication further tells me that this is coming from some VERY amateurish sources.
Sorry, because I actually agree to some extent with some of the aims of the XXXChurch. But this PR release is a clear indication that they are at least as equally clueless as those to whom they ostensibly hold out a helping hand.
I found the XXX Church campaings asuming. Even went they have a point, like this one.
