This is an example of people on the intertubes falling for just about any damned thing they see or read.

7. Couple of weeks back..
a bunch of people are all goo-goo over a video that supposedly showed people popping popcorn with phones, leading to the inevitable conclusion that cell phones are teh evul.

9. Too bad. Well, at least you can generate brain tumors.
Not as immediately gratifying, to be sure, but it does at least show the power of the tech.

12. Yeah we'll fall for anything. Like not being able to pop popcorn with your cell phone?
I've seen Jessie Jackson talking about Obama's nuts and McCain not talking about Viagra. But nothing about not popping popcorn with a cell phone.

13. I don't know what happened to the link
Edited on Fri Jul-11-08 05:42 AM by ProdigalJunkMail
it USED to show the guy that admitted that the cell phones popping popcorn bit was nothing more than a viral marketing campaign for a bluetooth headset...

CNN must have moved something...

here is the corrected link...

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/tech/2008/07/09/carroll.cellphone.popcorn.cnn?iref=videosearch

Strange...

15. Thank you. So basically it's a false advertizing campaign. They should be prosecuted.
