Islamic State skit accused of very bad taste

Saturday Night Live has come under fire for an Islamic State terrorism skit, featuring up and coming star Dakota Johnson.

The comedy routine saw Johnson playing a student seemingly being dropped off at the airport by her dad when she is actually meeting member of ISIS to join their crusade.

“Dad, it’s just ISIS,” Johnson says in the faux ad, before winking.

The Dad then turns to a member of ISIS and asks him to take care of his daughter.

“Death to America,” the terrorist says.

Twitter was alight with fans of the show that found it hilarious, and others that were confounded by the joke.

Have your say. Offensive or hilarious?
