Cellphone popcorn videos are fakes, maker says

The makers of the viral videos showing friends in three countries using the death rays from their cellphones to pop popcorn are, unsurprisingly, fakes. (Gawker mostly shot the videos down on Monday).

The maker of the videos has come forward today to admit the hoax and claim its viral prize: repeated mentions of its company's name in the media and blogosphere. And if you get your video to the top of the viral charts, I guess you earn it, right? Cardo Systems makes high-end Bluetooth headsets (the joke being, I guess, that if you use their product, your brain won't get cooked by your cellphone). 

Here's one of the new videos with the advertisement appended. Enjoy, hands-free!
