Having not seen MTV play a video for about 15 years now, it strikes me as odd, or redundant, that they would chose to ban one.

Well, at least it was banned for a legitimate medical reason, not some bogus issue like nudity, silliness or general bad taste. Strobe lights flashing at a certain frequency DO cause seizures in susceptible people, like my mother. (Not that she watches much MTV - QVC is more her style).
