Stay on the Phone, Selena Gomez


A recent photo showing Selena Gomez pumping gas while holding a cell phone may have provoked some outrage on the lame celebrity blogs that you've been reading lately. Well, don't fret.

Even though there are signs at gas stations that caution drivers to NOT talk on the phone or use electronic devices near gas pumps, there is no evidence that a cell phone has ever caused a gas station to explode. This has all been debunked by the likes of Snopes.com and others.

Now, is there a danger of static electricity? Absolutely. I don't know that what Gomez is wearing here would cause a static electricity spark; usually, that would be a big sweater or something like that. Clearly, she has dressed down to avoid causing such an event.

Always use caution when pumping gas. But don't worry about the cell phone.

I hope people that use snopes.com don't rely on it as much as they should rely on their education. It also doesn't take much to do a little self-educating and learning about static electricity or RF radiation. Selena's camel toe has more chance of generating a static spark or cancerous radiation than her cell phone does. Good article.

1. iRocket there is no camel toe you are obviously blind and two cell phones don't do anything to gas pumps since everyone uses them there. Three it's lame that people bitch about every little thing that Selena does, Grow up.
