On the poplar show in America, Saturday Night Live. There happened to be a twist on the show that very day which has caused controversies online.
The terrorist group which everyone is talking about ISIS was ridiculed in a parody of an original ad by Toyota Camry.
The Toyota Bold Choices Commercial which shows a Fathers relationship with his Daughter. They are both emotional as he drives her off to the airport to join the army.
TOTOYA ORIGINAL COMMERCIAL
Saturday Night Live decided to do a reverse of the Toyota original Ad. It starred 50 shade of Grey Actor Dakota Johnson as the Dad who drives off his daughter not to join the army this time around but to join ISIS.
When he shows a bit of fear and tells his daughter to be take care, she simply replied : Dad its just ISIS, really.
I was furious when i saw this Ad on CNN, the video has already gotten over 1,300,000 views on Youtube, currently has more views than the original commercial.
Sincerely i get what the show is trying to do, make jest of the deadly group and obviously make them powerless but from my own point of view i feel this isn't a case of mocking the deadly group but has become a sensitive issue if you look at it from the angle of giving of your daughter to die.
The whole world is literally against ISIS presently the war against ISIS has being tagged the 3rd world war. You don't want to give sacrifice any member of your family. I won't do that.
The humour portrayed in this skit is not evident rather its more on the sensitive side.

Obi Asika has resigned as the founder of SMWLagos due to his recent appointment, here what he had to say below
Dear Social Media Week Lagos Community,
I am humbled to inform you of my appointment as Senior Special Assistant to the President of Nigeria on Social Media. I would like to thank President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR for entrusting me with this responsibility and I pledge to give my best to the job and as always, to promote Nigeria and her people. It is worthy of note that this is the first appointment at cabinet level on the African continent for the sector and speaks to the innovation driven by the President and his administration.
To ensure the independence of Social Media Week Lagos, I have since the appointment, resigned my position as Chairman of Social Media Week Lagos & recused myself from the programming. I am confident that the team, led by Ngozi Odita, is more than strong enough to produce world-class events year after year. In this regard I am excited about all of the events and speakers and wish everybody well.
I would like to thank all those with whom I have worked over the years across multiple industries and brands for their messages of support. As we move forward there will be more announcements from my office concerning Government policies and plans for the social media space.
I ask my friends, family, associates and all Nigerians for their support and prayers.
