Check this out:

Cell Phone Popcorn? - Urban Legend

The original video is part of a viral marketing campaign for Cardo Systems, maker of Bluetooth headsets (you wouldn't want to fry your brains now, would ya?). Looks like it's still working at getting people to believe things that ain't so. Your cell phone does not radiate enough power to pop popcorn (which is not the same thing as saying it's proven completely safe to have an antenna radiating close to your head).

Snopes.com is another place to check out hoaxes.

This one went around through email... I was glad to find out it was a hoax.

But cell phone safety may still be something to be concerned about. There are still others who are concerned:

Brain expert warns of huge rise in tumors and calls on industry to take immediate steps to reduce radiation.
Mobile phones could kill far more people than smoking or asbestos, a study by an award-winning cancer expert has concluded. He says people should avoid using them wherever possible and that governments and the mobile phone industry must take "immediate steps" to reduce exposure to their radiation.
The study, by Dr Vini Khurana, is the most devastating indictment yet published of the health risks.
It draws on growing evidence -- exclusively reported in the IoS in October - that using handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk of brain cancer. Cancers take at least a decade to develop, invalidating official safety assurances based on earlier studies which included few, if any, people who had used the phones for that long.

Dr. Vini Khurana is a Staff Specialist Neurosurgeon at The Canberra Hospital and Associate Professor of Neurosurgery for The Australian National University Medical School). More information about him can be viewed at http://www.brain-surgery.net.au/c_a.html.
