You might have seen a series of videos burning up the Internets.

Each shows a group of friends setting their cell phones on a table, watching the kernels placed in the middle of them pop, and then yelping as if Criss Angel went "mindfreak" on them.

What do you think? Seems totally fake to me – right down to the reactions – and there appear to be other skeptics out there.

But I have to say the timing of these videos - I've seen three of them, each from different countries - is perfect. People are more freaked out about cell phones than ever before, thanks to a growing number of experts questioning their safety. (See: Larry King Live show on cell phones .)
