Ron Jeremy: Wrecking Ball
January 19, 2014 2:30 PM Subscribe
Wrecking Ball... interpreted by Ron Jeremy. SFW, I think.
I get a "This video does not exist" message, which in retrospect is probably for the best.

Oh lordy. I don't know how to describe my reaction to this. I kind of want to laugh .. and yet ... I'm kind of touched. ONLY A LITTLE!

Somehow I initially read that as Ron Burgundy: Wrecking Ball. The reality is ?better.

I have no idea why, but when I saw the name Ron Jeremy, I thought I'd be seeing this Ron, and got mightily confused when the video started.

The video was produced here in Portland, where he runs a swingers club (I hear they have an excellent seafood buffet). I think mostly he does comedic cameo roles and product promotion at this point.

Dammit, FFFish.
Sorry about that.
BTW, WTF is with his bellybutton?

THAT is an outie with a vengeance.
This just illustrates for me that what Cyrus does verges on more silly than sexy. Sometimes things can be so far over the top they're just redonkulus.
I'm kind of touched.
No touching. Please. NO touching.
And we need alcohol wipes STAT for that wrecking ball.

I found this utterly delightful, and I think my world is a better place for having seen it. My partner, on the other hand, says, "I may never recover from this."

Like, if you ignore the fact that he's obviously clowning, and maybe the fact that he's Ron Jeremy, it has a certain pathos.

Jeremy had achieved something akin to Grand Dame status in porn. I don't have a word or phrase more accurate than that to describe his status.

Yeah - I kinda wonder if it's a hernia of some sort, if you look at his old work, it's a regular ol' innie (no offense to any outies out there)... Even a pic I saw that's of a larger Ron seems to have an innie. I'm half wondering if it isn't related to the surgery, but then I did find a pic of him engaged in sexual action that showed it, and I don't know if he's been starring actively in any films since his surgery, so I think that throws that theory out.
I also think that I have already put way too much thought into this issue.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's one of those brown plastic recorders, the ones you learned to toot "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on in first grade. Which makes it even better.

Ernielundquist, I have only a vague idea of who Rob Jeremy is. That probably has something to do with my reaction.

Aha! That probably is it, then. I know what he's famous for, but only from reading about it in scholarly journals or something.
Maybe we're more inclined to see him as just some sad old man singing a song about loss and regret because we're not used to seeing him that other way.

Exactly - looking at it I think how the song is sexy and tragic when sung by a hot young star ... But if we're older and uglier and fatter we still have those feelings. It just becomes pathetic to sing about them in our underwear.
And yet it also underscores the silliness of Miley. I realize I'm contradicting myself a bit but ... There you go.
