CNN- SNL Comedy Creates Controversy

On February 28 of the previous Saturday, Saturday Night Live star Tarin Killam and Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson played roles in a parody of a Super Bowl commercial depicting a father dropping his daughter of at an airport where she was soon to join the US army.  In the SNL parody, the daughter was depicted leaving to join ISIS.

As it always is, there is a deep disparity in the reaction to this.  The outraged cited the comedy skit as having "no respect" for "think(ing) ISIS belongs in a comedy skit", even bashing them as "tasteless scum".  However, many not only enjoyed the skit, but praise SNL for making such a skit, believing that "There's no group more deserving of ridicule".

The Human Environment Interaction here is based on the alleged insult of the US military by inadvertently comparing such to the ISIS militants.  Place and region can also be tied into that.  But such a thing probably isn't impossible.  Three British girls left the country allegedly to join ISIS last month.  Their movement was swift, and their parents have not heard from them since.  In addition, this is not the first time America has made controversial media known to the public.  The most recent example of this before ISIS was the motion picture The Interview, which was pulled from all theaters after threats of war by North Korea; it was however later showed in privately owned theaters.

In terms of this small skit, the impact doesn't seem like anything worth the outrage.
