One Direction Fans Think The Daily Show Called Zayn a Terrorist
LatestWell this is… something. One Direction fans are currently blowing up Twitter with the hashtag #thedailyshowgonetoofar because they feel their number one main man, Zayn, was called a terrorist in a segment on The Daily Show earlier this week.
The comment in question was a single item on a list that was part of a larger joke by “Senior Pentagon Correspondent” Jessica Williams during a bit that aired Tuesday night about whether or not we are really at war in the Middle East.
During the segment, Williams made a throwaway comment about one member from One Direction joining members from other terrorist groups (including the Zetas, who are more of a terrifying drug cartel and who are from Mexico) to form one “super” terrorist group. If you’re not a fan of One Direction, you probably missed it, as the purpose of the joke was pretty unrelated to One Direction and very related to the endless nature of the constantly evolving situation in the Middle East.
