*Gnarls Barkley fans can forget about watching the video for their new single "Run" on MTV. The music channel said yesterday that it will not air the clip because it may cause viewers to suffer a serious medical condition.
According to Billboard.com, the music channel said it will not air the clip because its strobe effects caused it to fail the Harding Test – which are guidelines established to prevent TV images from triggering epileptic seizures. [Scroll down to watch video - at your own risk.]
"I don't know exactly what's going on, but we're having issues," said Danger Mouse, one half of Gnarls Barkley. "I think (the video) is cool. It works for me. But I'm not necessarily that easily seasick. We can't predict how people are going to interpret it."
"Run" centers around the fictional public access TV show "City Vibin"' and is set in the early '90s. Justin Timberlake appears as the host of the program, on which Danger Mouse and fellow Gnarls Barkley principal Cee-Lo then perform the track.
The pair's new album, "The Odd Couple," is set to be released on April 8. A video for the second single, "Who's Gonna Save My Soul," is scheduled to be shot in the coming days.
