American satirist Jon Stewart has called One Direction fans "vicious" after they reacted angrily to a joke which mentioned the band amongst a list of terrorist groups.
After the show's correspondent Jessica Williams jokingly mentioned the band on The Daily Show, which is hosted by Stewart, the hashtag #TheDailyShowGoneTooFar trended throughout the day.
In the most recent edition of the show, during a segment on Obama's United Nations, Stewart asked if the one issue that would define the coming century was "the terrifying enthusiasm of One Direction fans?"
He added: "I had to log off my own Instagram. They're vicious. Maybe if we get the One Directioners upset about climate change... I heard Harry's floating out to sea on an ice cap."
