Last night SNL featured a spoof of a Toyota commercial featuring a dad dropping his daughter off to enter the military. The twist? The daughter in the parody is headed off to join ISIS.
It sparked a lot of outrage but not everyone was angered by the satire piece.

@Superjumpy Yes, it was a funny skit. Teenage girl or psychopathic guy, you join Isis may get ridiculed.

@Superjumpy Thought it mocked the whole situation. Don't find it even remotely offensive.

ISIS TV ad sketch on #SNL was the first piece of brilliant satire this season on the show. Harkened back to the show's dangerous early yrs.

I don't get why this ISIS #SNL skit is getting criticized so much when no one complained about the ISIS Shark Tank skit back in November?

I take back everything bad I've said about #SNL recently. The ISIS ad was inspired.
