There's a mythbusters video on YouTube where he proves it won't work, but shows what it does after 2 or 3 seconds.

Not pretty then....

My goodness me! You need no technology knowledge to know this is just ludicrous surely?! If people fall for it they shouldn't be allowed to use a microwave or a phone in fact!

There are more then enough people these days who haven't got any kind of common sense that would be dumb enough to fall for this.

Every generation just gets worse as well

I was just wondering why it is that criticism is readily offered of those who have been or may be fooled by this nasty and potentially dangerous hoax,  yet there is not one syllable of condemnation of those who originated the scam or indeed the organisation(s) that facilitated its dissemination.
