Ron Jeremy

With the economy deteriorating and consumers reluctant to spend so frivolously, the entire country is seeking creative, and sometimes desperate, ways to bring in extra cash. The result: Lawsuits, Lawsuits, Lawsuits! The porn industry is no exception. The Estate of Ron Jeremy (Paul S. Martin) filed a $69 million dollar lawsuit last week against the creator of Mario Bros., Shigeru Miyamoto, as well as his employer Nintendo Co. Ltd.

The suit claims that the Japanese artist, under the supervision of Nintendo, used Mr. Jeremy’s image as the sole model for their most iconic video game character “Mario”, from the internationally recognized video game “Mario Bros.” Mr. Jeremy’s attorney, Todd Ludlow, provided the following statement: “We intend to prove that the accused used our client’s image and persona as the basis for creating one of the most legendary characters in video game history. If you look at the facts, it is quite clear where Mr. Miyamoto obtained his ideas. The obvious similarities are the round, overweight stomach and dark mustache. Mario’s occupation is a master of piping, and if you go back to the character's debut, his goal is to beat a monkey. We have done our research and the time line matches perfectly. The “Donkey Kong” video game was released in 1981, two years after Ron Jeremy’s first “adult video” was released. This is no coincidence.”

After filing the suit, Japanese authorities swarmed the Miyamoto residence. There, locked in the basement of the house, police found four boxes of adult videos featuring the famous porn star along with two life-size cardboard cut outs, a plasterized replica of Mr. Jeremy’s genitals, and a pile of soiled rags. Representatives of Mr. Miyamoto as well as Nintendo could not be reached for comment.

In a related story, the Estate of Ron Jeremy has now filed a Lawsuit against the former Attorney Todd Ludlow for referring to Mr. Jeremy as overweight. More details to cum.

Top 7 Iron Mans

May 27, 2008 by Micah Bleich

No, we didn’t make a mistake. The title is, in fact, “Top 7 Iron Mans,” not “Iron Men.” We’re counting down the 7 people that have best honored the iron name with great accomplishments and general bad-assery. Some of these may shock you, but rest assured, they are rated by the highest authorities on the subject matter (or any subject matter, as far as we’re concerned): hardcore gamers.

Is World Of Warcraft (MMOs) a good way to meet a spouse?

May 6, 2008 by Micah Bleich

Dear Mercedes, I've been single for almost 4 years now, and I'm getting really desperate for some companionship. My friend met his current girlfriend by playing World of Warcraft, but that seems a little weird, even for me. Do you think playing online games is a reasonable way to meet women?

Short answer: No.
