Music Video
The music video for Warning premiered on MTV in January 2001. It was directed by Francis Lawrence and shows the life of a young man (Whose punch-in card reveals his name to be John Earle) who does trivial but dangerous things during his day. The video starts off with the man waking up at 6:30. He sleeps on a dirty mattress wearing a dirty pair of white pants and socks. His house is untidy and his kitchen is dirty. At the end of the video, he returns home late at night. Because he left on his appliances, the popcorn machine has overflowed, the lights are all on and his toaster is burning. He returns to his bed for night, throwing his clothes on the floor. When the man has gone to sleep,his clock switches back to 6:29.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you—like music to the musician or Marxism to the Communist—or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
