#TheDailyShowGoneTooFar is trending #1 in the U.S. at the moment:
What’s that all about?
In a segment on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” a joke was made about the formation of a “new” terrorist group. Below is the video and a partial transcript of the part that’s sparking anger among 1D fans:
“As you were talking a new terrorist group just formed, with one member each from ISIS, al-Nusra, al-Qaeda, Hamas, One Direction and the Zetas drug cartel.”
One Direction’s Zayn Malik was raised a Muslim, according to the Washington Post, and apparently many assumed that “The Daily Show” joke was in reference to him.
Here’s just a sampling of the upset:
