CBS’s sci-fi political dramedy BrainDead goes after two top conservatives in the episode titled “The Power of Euphemism: How Torture Became a Matter of Debate in American Politics.”
The premise of the show is that ants from outer space have been entering the ears of humans, pushing their brains out, and taking over their minds, effectively making their hosts “braindead.”
One of the characters has made a radar detector of sorts that goes off whenever he is near one of the braindead people. He is walking around the Senate Office Buildings and when he goes by Senator Mike Lee’s (R-Utah) office, the detector goes off. Because, yeah, why not take a gratuitous shot at one of the most principled conservatives in the Senate and imply he is braindead?
