These irony meters seem awfully fragile. They break whenever they detect any irony. Shouldn’t the needle just move? Or is the whole thing a scam by the International Union of Irony Meter Repairmen (IUIMR).
You are right, Darwin’s Dagger. These irony meters are crap! They blow up at the merest hint of irony. I’ll get them from a reputable dealer next time. I’ve had it with e-bay!
The irony meter is manufactured by Microsoft, and they insist that all bugs will be removed in v2.0, that they promise will be delivered by the end of the summer.
Microsoft has found that when not powered up, v1.0 had no problems. Ironically, v2.0’s main improvement is that it doesn’t have a power switch.
I didn’t think Judeaism was a “multiplicity of equally valid perspectives.†What version of the Old Testament are you using?
Moses, in this strip, isn’t like the Biblical Moses. He’s a strange sort of post-modern philosopher. Then again, the titular characters are also a bit stretched from their literary sources, too …

Jesus & Mo (the characters) are absurd, blinkered, and oddly very sweet. J&M (the cartoon) is brilliant: sharp, delicious, irresistible. Salman Rushdie
Jesus and Mo cartoons are wonderfully funny and true. Richard Dawkins
Jesus and Mo make the world a better place, bless their little hearts. Ophelia Benson
In a world defined by outrage and offence and liberal spinelessness, Jesus and Mo is a treasure, whose value we should never fail to recognize. Read them. Laugh. And think. Kenan Malik
The brilliant, celebrated, freaking hilarious atheist comic strip ... Greta Christina
...rays of sanity in a befuddled world. Keri Hulme
The liveliest depictions of Muhammad currently available... Malise Ruthven
J & Mo is the funniest and most consistently thought-provoking cartoon strip on the Net. In a saner world, it would run in a major newspaper. Nelson Jones, Heresy Corner
Consistently amusing, frequently thought-provoking and often heart-warming. New Humanist
Jesus & Mo is one of the most wonderful things on the internet.. JT Eberhard
Wittily captures much of the absurdity of religious apologetics. Mano Singham
I love jesusandmo.net cartoons - witty and sharp! Katha Pollitt
Often hilarious, frequently wry, these cartoons do what all the best cartoons do: they tell the truth through humour. Terry Sanderson, NSS President
...a wonderfully acid British cartoonist... Nick Cohen
I love the scrappy mockery of Jesus and Mo. Freedom of speech
includes the freedom to mock any person, any thing, any activity, and
any belief -- and J&M stands up for this unflinchingly Richard Stallman
...empowering, important and deeply progressive, not to mention hilarious... Council of Ex-Muslims

Is that Ben Goldacre’s book that Mo is reading? I approve his choice.
I think it’s time Dr Goldacre added Jesus and Mo to his posse…
the recall rate on those meters is insane…

my irony meter broke about halfway through this little debate.
Mine broke underneath the Christmas tree but I figured that had everthing to do with being quasi-atheist…..
Where can I get this irony-meter thing, I could use it so good on my two-faced friends…

I have it on good authority that Ben Goldacre is a big fan of author’s. The good taste is mutual.

How ’bout a t-shirt with some cogs and a spring printed on it and the word SPOING in big letters – I’d buy on of those!
All hail “grouchy-one” for his idea of the “Holy Shirt”. “In Authors’ name, “SPOING”…..”

Yep-it’s British.
Reading the “Moses” bubbles in a funny Indian call-centre-esque accent makes it all the more interesting
Chad Elf Believer: “I have an invisible magic elf who makes it rain.”
Virgin Skeptic: “How can you prove you have this elf?”
Chad Elf Believer: “Didn’t it rain yesterday?”
Virgin Skeptic: “Yes.”
Chad Elf Believer: “What more proof do you need?”
