DIVERSION: Jagg Off - Todd Strauss-Schulson, director

OK, this isn't a music video, but  it does involve music and it's from director whose name — Todd Strauss Schulson — has appeared again and again on this Web site in relation to his videos. And, it made me laugh. And, I love the term "Jagg Off" so much that it should enter the lexicon as a noun to describe an overly showy and/or goofy  frontman (as in: "Wow, Taylor Hicks is really a Jagg Off).

Watch. Enjoy. Have a laugh at Mick Jagger's expense, while Mick himself keeps strutting and laughing his way to the bank.
