Looks like not everyone was thrilled with Dakota Johnson's appearance on last night's Saturday Night Live. Not necessarily because of her actual performance, of course. We're actually speaking of a certain sketch that has now caused a Twitter outrage online. In a father-daughter commercial parody, SNL player Taran Killam played a father dropping off his daughter, who was played by host and 50 Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson, at the airport. The sketch mocks the very same Toyota car commercial in which a father brings his newly enlisted daughter to the airport. In this bit, however, the daughter does not head inside, and she's not in the army. Instead, she catches a ride from someone else––ISIS.

Which, as you might guess, is where the outrage came. 

The sketch left many viewers feeling that the legendary NBC sketch show crossed the line.

Well, readers, check out the sketch here and decide for yourself.

As mentioned, the sketch caused an immediate uproar on Twitter, with the masses taking to their phones to express their immense disapproval. Take a look at some of the tweets below:

Oh boy.

So, readers, what do you think: should SNL have not aired the commercial parody; or, are people being too sensitive?
