I lost $10K HAPPILY !

Guess what, I got fooled by the latest viral marketing videos done by Bluetooth headset retailer Cardo Systems which show people appearing to pop popcorn with their cellphones.  In fact, I had lost a $10,000 bet to my husband as I thought those videos are real and he had disagreed even before he had seen the videos! 

After we've had a chance to see those videos, our whole family (including my brother-in-law, sisters-in-law, niece and nephew) had all participated in the mobile phone popcorn test.  Even though it didn't work, all of us had still thought the videos are real and my husband was going to give me $10,000 to honour his bet!

Unfortunately, before the cash had got into my hands, someone had sent us the following truth behind those videos!  What a bloody drag!  Anyway, the whole family had a lot of fun in the verification process and I am happy to honour my bet to give $10,000 to my husband!  More importantly, I feel happy that both my husband and I had learned not to be so overly sefl-assured when are are arguing with one another!

Nevertheless, this has not changed my views about Shyamalan's latest movie, THE HAPPENINGas mentioned in my last blog and the fact that there had been real accounts of recent massive die off of bees and birds!
