Note to anyone eager to share neat Youtube videos on their latest new mobile or netbook/notebook, or in this case an Ipad - that viral about cell phone popcorn or cell phone boiled eggs - is false!

The popcorn one was actually an advertisement for Cardo bluetooth headsets, and companies definitely have enough mula to buy very sophisticated video editing equipment and use it in conjunction to make a totally edited out the wazoo video look like an actual experiment done by the average Joe down the street.

And that's probably why so many people got sucked into the cell phone popcorn video hoax. It looks like an impromptu video made by your average set of young people, but it is very carefully put together and edited with all the camera and editing tricks liberally applied.
