The video for Gnarls Barkley's new single, "Run," may feature a cameo from Justin Timberlake, but it's still not quite ready to air on MTV.

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.

However, the video is available on various online outlets, and Gnarls Barkley member Danger Mouse was hopeful the situation could be resolved shortly.

"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," he told Billboard.com. "We can't predict how people are going to interpret it."

This is the best song so far this year. Taps into the zeitgeist, especially with the lyric:

Hurry little children
Run this way
I have got a beast at bay

"a beast at bay"... ain't that the truth... this world is a beast gone mad.

Any idiot music video director knows they need to stay TV safe.

Loved Justin Timberlake in the black and white Thriller Jacket though.

funky fresh. to bad the resolution is to low to give induce seizures. who knew there was a harding test? This will surely only make gnarls richer.

I hope Barkley is laughing his ass off and slurping down champagne on his way to the bank in his S series Mercedes. Screw MTV, they suck anyway!

Retro cool and humorous. I can imagine how this video could induce seizures with its blurry and psychedelic-like lights.

I'm in my 50's and I found it very palatable. Love that guys voice and enjoyed watching the young-uns move effortlessly to the music. I really thought it was great! So see, even an old groovy chick like me approves of this style music and dancing - it's sooo pro!

Triggering epileptic seizures? We may not have Malaria in this country but we have some pretty weird symptoms.

Wait, I didn't think MTV played anything except the Real World/Road rules challenge and this Tila Tequila garbage. Even MTV2 doesn't play videos anymore.

The flashing did make my Tourettes act up a little, though.

I love Gnarls! Can't wait for the new album to drop in April! Great vid (if not nausea-inducing) and good song.

that causes epilepsy?
the bourne ultimatum won a dickless gold man for BEST EDITING!!!! The rapid cuts and camera movements in that movie made me sick, or feel hammered, and they received goddamn Oscar recognition for it?!?!?!

sweet music video though, gnarls barkley is good music :)
