Not Tempted

Dish procrastinated by going through Duran Duran's library of videos, which is my crack cocaine. Sadly, my salivating ceased instantly over the video for "Tempted." It's all about women making out, sliding around stripper poles (so five years ago and for female celebs desperate to get into the Post), tempting and writhing in bikinis--while the band sings. Is this supposed to make me think they're cool and artistic instead of gross and cliche? Duran Duran has been ahead of its time in several ways: Simon brushed his hair forward long before Rob Thomas made it popular. The song "Too Much Information" (which has the popular TMI acronym) warns of technology's oppression over humans. Perez Hilton kind of named his book something similar to their latest CD. Now, DD needs to get hip and stop alienating its female fan base. We know they're tempted by tall, skinny models. Thank the goddess, we fat clumsy slobs are safe!
Now delaying work by watching lipstick lesbian romantic comedy Imagine Me & You.

Are you no longer a fan? You seem to have been one. Where do you stand when all is said and done with DD? Give us guidance (and make it funtoo).
