VIDEO: Gnarls Barkley's 'Run' - original version MTV wouldn't air

You might have heard MTV, old Music Television, wouldn't air the Gnarls Barkley's Run video. Here is more from Reuters:

That's because of its strobe effects, which caused the clip to fail the Harding Test -- guidelines established to prevent TV images from triggering epileptic seizures.


The cable network says it is accepting an edited version.

Forget that, here is the original version already on YouTube.

I watched it and felt fine afterwards. Especially considering it is in compressed Internet video form. It's probably too blocky to cause anything but a headache.

The bigger news here is that MTV still actually runs videos. [insert rim shot here] CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
