"All I really have to say is ignorance of the law isn't innocence," he said. "I didn't want to give up my Illinois driver's license and was unaware that was a crime. It is, by the way, in the state of California. Lesson learned. I technically broke a law, so technically I deserve whatever I get. But man, is my mom gonna be pissed."

I think it's going to leave people with a bit of a cliffhanger, which is kind of cool," bass guitarist Pete Wentz told MTV about the concept of the video. "But, as a member of the band, I can tell you it's not [our final video], because there is another video that will explain some of the cliffhanger that's going to premiere on the Internet a bit later."

Pete, in black hood, tweeted to Mark saying that ATL are a rip-off to FOB, but Mark answered "Both ATL and FOB rip-off Blink-182".

"6 months ago we thought it would be a fun idea to release our album on election day but this is not the election to be cute," the band wrote on their official website.
"This is the most important election of our time and, as much as the record is a social commentary and the term 'Folie a Deux' is relevant to the candidates, we felt as though rather than making a commentary we were only riding the wave of the election," the punk band from Wilmette, Illinois explain. "This seemed less and less like what we intended to do and more of a gimmick."

The video features cameo appearances from Spencer Pratt of "The Hills", Mark Hoppus of Blink-182, and Cobra Starship's Gabe Saporta.
"It's a little bit of a satire on the rock-and-roll archetypes of being a jerk like trashing dressing rooms and being a general big, big jerk," Patrick Stump speaks of the video concept. "Because, if we're well-known for anything, it's that we're not really like that. We're not big jerks, we're just playing on that. These are all things that we would never do."
