South Korean sensation Psy's new song "Gentleman" is certifiably viral and is getting seen by quite a few eyeballs. However, there is one place you won't be singer the "Gangnam Style" hitmaker's latest conoction, on South Korean broadcaster KBS where the video has been banned.

State-funded KBS didn't agree with some of the antics that Psy gets up to in his latest hit. No, not the groping of countless ladies. It's the shot at the beginning where Psy kicks over a parking cone that reads "No Parking" that the station took offense at.

KBS says the video shows the rapper abusing public property, which in not OK by them. Just so we're clear, groping ladies (or leering and screaming at their butts a la "Gangnam") is totally ok, but kicking over a cone is not.

Psy came to fame with "Gangnam Style" a colorful, goofy video that took the Internet by storm and became YouTube's most-watched video of all-time with 1.5 billion views. Since its release earlier this week, "Gentleman" has racked up a not tiny total of 150 million views.

Check out the offending clip, which tied the Russian meteor video for fastest to reach 100 million views, below:

What do you think? Is KBS being a little bit too sensitive in banning the "Gentleman" clip? Are there other things in the video they should be worried about? Are you happy that Psy appears to be more than just "Gangnam Style"?

Sound off in the comments and stick with Mstarz for the latest on Psy, "Gentleman" and other news.
