Run (and Seize)

The video for Gnarls Barkley's new single "Run" has a cameo from Justin Timberlake, but the real wattage is the awesome strobe effects.

And it's because of the strobe effects the clip failed the Harding Test -- guidelines established to prevent TV images from triggering epileptic seizures, and it will not be aired on MTV.

"I don't know exactly what's going on, but we're having issues. I think (the video) is cool. It works for me. But I'm not necessarily that easily seasick," said Gnarls Barkley member Danger Mouse. "We can't predict how people are going to interpret it." Or seize up from it.

"Run" centers around the fictional public access TV show "City Vibin'" and is set in the early '90s. See if you have an unknown medical condition and watch!
