Meter mates are seeing red - Herald Sun6 December 2009, 3:32 amSCIENTOLOGISTS' E-meters must be sparking into action across the globe as their odd bosses engage familiar forces - expensive lawyers - to fight the usual enemy, the families of the lost and luckless seeking answers in the wreckage of lives gone wrong.
E-meters are a sort of early laptop pub pong device that can measure mental mass. Apparently they can only be operated by senior Scientologists. I checked one out on the internet last night and they look like they might be fun, especially attached to a much loved golden retriever you've always believed to be smarter than the bitzer next door.
Of course, Tom Cruise is the most famous Scientologist but I don't reckon that little needle would go anywhere near the red as it calculates his mental mass.
I have never seen a film starring Cruise, but I saw again last week on the news a few moments from that embarrassingly puerile episode where he jumps up and down on Oprah Winfrey's couch as if he had sat down way too hard on a fully charged E-meter.
