Oh wow. Are we sure we want these things near our brains?!?!
I did some checking to make sure this wasn’t an urban legend. Surprisingly, there are a lot of opinions about this! Suspicions arose because these videos appeared within a day or two (one in English, others in Germany, China, etc). Another suspicion was that only *certain* cell phones would pop the popcorn, so some people thought this was all a marketing scheme to get people to buy these particular cellphones. I don’t know why they think this– I would be more inclined to stay far, far away from phones that fry things!
There’s an interesting news story at Wired.com here.The author of the story says it’s all a fake because “it just can’t happen.” But there are a ton of comments by others who say it can. They get into all this technical stuff, about microwaves, radiation, and etc. How hard is it to figure out– I mean, just get some cell phones together and TRY IT.
I only have two cell phones in the house, and both are tracfones. 
Otherwise, I’d try it for sure! If you test this out, please oh PLEASE come back and tell me your results! I’d LOVE to know!
At any rate, it’s a hilarious video!

This looks like a job for Mythbusters!!! I love that show.

That video freaked me out the first time I saw it, too!
It’s supposed to have been a publicity stunt (http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2008/06/bluetooth-compa.html). While it certainly got lots of attention, I don’t appreciate the fear-mongering as much, since I use my cell phone a lot.

From what I’ve heard, the video is fake, and was produced by a company that sells bluetooth headsets.

I always go to snopes if I want to check on the validity of something I think might be an urban myth.
