Newsflash - You can’t really pop popcorn with your cell phone.

For fun I posted a few videos with me apparently using my cell phone to pop popcorn on YouTube.

I of course faked it.

Here’s how I did it:

A lot of people seemed skeptical - but a good number of comments suggested the poster was actively entertaining this as possibly being real.

Some users expressed that the video confirmed what they already knew - that wireless devices were causing people around the world multiple health problems (a claim that so far hasn’t been substantiated).

One user wasn’t sure what was going on - but found it very interesting that all the major television networks were taking so much effort to report the various videos as being fakes.

I suspect a lot of the less skeptical comments came from 15 year olds. However, I think a good number of them came from adults without working baloney detection kits.
