I know this isn't the right place to put this, but this needs to get out there quick. And they say that's not the reason people are dropping like flies from brain tumors?

Cell Phone Popcorn

I didn't know where to put this, but it didn't belong in Hardware so I moved it here.

You should have posted it in Random, this is clearly a joke. There is nowhere near enough RF energy from a cell phone to even warm a popcorn kernel, much less actually pop it. In addition, they hadn't answered the phones yet, so the transmitters weren't really in continuous use at the time, not that it would have made any difference.

Bluetooth headset retailer Cardo Systems has claimed ownership of the hot viral videos that show people appearing to pop popcorn with their cellphones.

She revealed that Cardo commissioned the videos, and a marketing agency in Paris called LastFools created the hoax clips, which have grabbed more than 4 million views since uploading began May 28. (2008)

No surprise there, anyone that knows anything about what it would take to pop popcorn would know better.
