Bill Maher has been criticised heavily for this one.
During a piece on Zayn Malik’s decision to quit One Direction, US chat show host Bill Maher compared the singer to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the man accused of orchestrating the Boston Marathon bombing with his brother in April 2013.
Cue nervous audience laughter.

Does Bill not know about Zayn’s services to humanity?
