Dakota Johnson and “Saturday Night Live” have come under a bit of fire for a sketch in which Johnson’s character is seen joining ISIS.
In a spoof of a Toyota Camry ad in which a father drops his daughter off at the airport to begin her military career, Johnson and SNL cast member Taran Killam play a father and daughter headed to the airport as well. Only when Johnson gets out of the car, she hops into the back of a truck filled with ISIS militants.
Killam posted the following on his Twitter account:
Proud of this. Freedom to mock is our greatest weapon. Thanks to the writers who asked not to be mentioned by name. https://t.co/FjdX9xGewX

@Yahoo @stableford This is what people get upset over? It was the only minimally funny part of that terrible show.
