100 Greatest Human Beings Who Ever Lived: #69 Ron Jeremy


This should surprise no one. Ron Jeremy is, bar none, the most famous and beloved (is that REALLY the right word?) porn star in the world. Some interesting facts about Ron Jeremy:

  • He holds a Master's in, get this, Special Education. He used to teach Special Ed kids before becoming a porn star.
  • He went to high school with Carl Winslow
  • He can ejaculate on command, which is pretty amazing.
  • He is a brown belt in Kung Fu. In other words, Ron Jeremy can probably kick your ass.
  • He was in Boondock Saints and has tried to expand his career into mainstream acting, bad standup comedy, and apparently, condiments.


Note that I had to perilously Google "Ron Jeremy hot sauce" to find that, so appreciate this post. Also if you haven't seen Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy, I strongly recommend you give it a go. The film itself is not pornographic. It's a pretty standard documentary and Jeremy comes across as an extremely sympathetic figure.

So there it is-- Ron Jeremy, the 69th Greatest Human Being Who Ever Lived. If you're not happy about this you're probably either a feminazi or a fundy Christian. Either way this blog is NOT for you, so fuck off.

Next on the list, number 68, the creator of the very definition of cool, the suavest fictional spy ever beheld by man. That's gotta count for something.
