So according to CNN, MTV banned Lady Gaga's new video for "Telephone" on the grounds that it was too provocative, and not because it was ten minutes long, full of product placement and filmed on the set of gay porn (No, really; NSFW). Then MTV fired back that they never banned Lady Gaga's video in the first place and that everyone who works at CNN are lying liars who tell lies.

An executive at MTV has denied the network has banned Lady Gaga and Beyonce's racy new video for "Telephone." The nine-and-a-half minute long promo has caused a stir online; attracting more than 12 million viewers in the three days after it debuted on YouTube.com.

[...] However, MTV's manager of programming, Tuma Basa, has hit back at the reports. In a post on his Twitter.com page, he writes, "The reports are false... the video's been airing since Friday morning on AMTV." (Source)

Don't be fooled though: just because MTV hasn't outright banned her video, doesn't mean they'll actually play it. Mostly because they stopped playing music videos somewhere between the 35th season of "The Real World" and "A Shot Of Penicillin with A Crazy Slutty Myspace Troll." Point is, MTV is stupid and don't count on ever seeing Lady Gaga or anything that has something to do with music on MTV ever again.
