How did I miss the latest (and possibly greatest) in current mobility hoaxes? This one is a doozy…

There seems to have been a buzz on the internet about popping corn using the radiation of mobile phones.

It turned out to be a hoax but still the videos are funny to watch.

Read about it here:

The article also explains that it was all a hoax.

Love it! Thanks for making me smile, Stefan.

I didn’t see the explanation of how they did it though.

I suspect that there was a heat source of some kind under the table? Either that or…maybe it really is real!

I saw this reported on CNN while at the gym yesterday morning … they had the PR person for the company who did the ad on there as well. The ‘viral’ part is that it is apparently for a bluetooth headset company. Yet the company denies that the message they are pushing is ‘cell phones are full of radiation … get a headset and avoid cooking your brain like popcorn!’

Indeed, she even denied that they are saying that the cell phones are doing the popping! As for what is supposed to be the popping mechanism … that is apparently a ‘trade secret’ according to the rep.

@mikeya – thanks for the clarification. The Link I posted underneath goes directly to the Cardo (BT headset) site.
