How desperate are the Rolling Stones?

More desperate than Eva Longoria in a testosterone-filled prison yard. (OK, that was lame.)

This desperate: today the Rolling Stones premiered their new video for "Streets of Love" on "Days of Our Lives." Seeing as how it is my job to understand such critical developments in rock and roll, some friends and I caught the episode during our lunch break. Man, it was embarrassing. It went something like this:

[Shawn and Mimi are sitting on the sofa, watching television.]

Mimi: "Oh my God, I forgot this was going to be on!"

Shawn: "I never knew you were a Rolling Stones fan!"

Mimi: "They were only, like, the first concert I ever went to. My brother took me when I was 16. Best brother ever. You probably only ever took Belle to Backstreet Boys concerts. Anyway, not only was it the best music, but the visual effects were great! This is the premiere of their new video!"

[Mimi turns up volume.]

We then see the full video for "Streets of Love," which is not only a sucky video, but also a sucky song. Following that, the rest of the episode just unfolds as if none of the embarrassing Jaggertude ever took place.

I offer this criticism as if the rest of the show was so realistic, well-acted and sincere.
