ASACP Releases PSA With Ron Jeremy

LOS ANGELES — The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has announced its release of a public service announcement (PSA) featuring Ron Jeremy.

The PSA for the Restricted To Adults (RTA) website label was released in conjunction with National Internet Safety Month; which recognizes society's need for measures that organizations, web designers and families can take to protect children online.

"I strongly believe that adult entertainment should only be seen by its intended audience — adults," Ron Jeremy said. "Parents need to take responsibility for their children online and that means installing and activating parental filtering software. This is not a substitute for active parenting, but it is a safeguard that parents need to take."

"With that in mind, I've already teamed up with XXXchurch and Craig Gross to create a series of PSAs stating that children should not watch porn," Jeremy added. "That PSA was seen by so many people that Jay Leno even mentioned it on The Tonight Show and I hope this PSA gets the same visibility."

Jeremy reportedly has starred in approximately 1,800 adult films and adds a guest starring role on the reality television series Surreal Life, along with appearances in mainstream movies, and his book; "Ron Jeremy: The Hardest (Working) Man in Showbiz," to his credits; which also include a stint as a high school teacher with a master's degree in Special Education.

"Things have really changed since I first started in the industry and the birth of the Internet made it much more challenging to monitor what our kids are watching," Jeremy said. "We all need to work together on many levels to protect children online and I am proud to be a part of the RTA PSA campaign."

"I would like to thank Evan and Tera and everyone at Teravision for donating their resources to make this PSA and applaud them on their efforts in helping ASACP in its mission to protect children online," Jeremy concluded.

According to the Association, the Ron Jeremy PSA was enabled by Evan Seinfeld and Mike Abdelnour of Teravision and TeraPatrick.com who volunteered their time and resources in order to film and edit the spot which features Jeremy encouraging parents to use parental filtering software in order to protect children from viewing age-inappropriate content online.

"Ron is an old friend and we are honored to be of service in making this video with him for ASACP," said Evan Seinfeld. "Most people don't see the adult industry as a place where people follow rules, so we feel it's important to pitch in and help out in order to promote adult entertainment in a positive light."

The video is the sixth in an ongoing series of PSAs produced by ASACP; with previous releases featuring Stormy Daniels, Sunny Leone, Catalina Cruz, ChiChi LaRue, and Tera Patrick and Evan Seinfeld.

According to an Association release, the free RTA label is the adult entertainment industry's initiative to protect children from viewing content that is age-inappropriate. Developed by ASACP out of a need for an easy to use and internationally recognized label that designates content for adults only, the RTA label is a unique string of "meta data" which can easily be inserted into the computer code of any website. Parental filtering software recognizes this tag and prevents children from viewing adult content on the more than 2.2 million sites that have labeled with RTA.

"Ron Jeremy has always believed that children should not view entertainment intended only for adults, and we are thrilled he has decided to participate in this important public service announcement to educate parents," ASACP CEO Joan Irvine said. "We greatly appreciate Ron volunteering his time and are very thankful to Teravision for making the PSA possible."

"Earlier this month ASACP kicked off National Internet Safety Month by announcing the launch of RTA Verified," Irvine added. "We hope that by creating more efficient ways for the adult industry to label their sites as being restricted to adults, in combination with our message in the RTA PSAs to use parental filtering, will maximize are ability to protect children online."

"We hope that Ron's massive appeal both in adult and mainstream will bring more visibility to ASACP, RTA, and the industry's efforts," she concluded.

According to the Association, RTA has been honored by the American Society of Association Executives and The Center for Association Leadership, in Washington, D.C. Additionally ASACP has received Certificates of Recognition from Congresswoman Jane Harmon, the California State Senate, the California State Assembly, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and the Mayors of Los Angeles, San Diego, Redondo Beach, and the City of West Hollywood, acknowledging ASACP's efforts to help parents prevent their children from viewing age-inappropriate content with the RTA website label.

Founded in 1996, the ASACP is a non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating child pornography from the Internet. ASACP battles child pornography through its CP reporting hotline, and by organizing the efforts of the online adult industry to combat the heinous crime of child sexual abuse. ASACP also works to help parents prevent children from viewing age-inappropriate material online.
