The Hawaii government is angry at Dwayne Johnson for his Saturday Night Live skit making fun of Hawaii's tourism industry. They are writing a letter of complaint to send SNL producer Lorne Michaels. "The skit went too far in its negative depiction of Hawaii's native people and tourism industry," Hawaii Lt. Gov. James Aiona said.
