A new study called “Cellphones and Brain Tumors: 15 Reasons for Concern, Science, Spin and the Truth Behind Interphone” (what the fuck is an Interphone?!) was published yesterday by the EM Radiation Research Trust. They prepared the video below to gather up support for their cause, which is apparently to scare the living hell out of everyday people, but I can’t help but wonder what device they used to make the recording. The video is blurry, the audio is terrible, could it be that they used, gasp, a mobile phone? Here is a lesson on credibility: the person who handles your USA media relations should not have an email address that ends in @aol.com, the person who handles your UK media relations should have an email address that shares a similar domain name with your website, and lastly, the device you use to record a video that will end up on YouTube should be something a little bit more high end than a Nokia N73.
