Of all of zug.com's pranks, this is probably the most ambitious.

The zug team successfully hacked the Superbowl!

That was impressive, all of those "hidden light clusters" that you can make out if you squint on a paused frame. With imagination, it could even spell something out!

Don't be all cynical. I would suggest reading the WHOLE article before jumping to CONCLUSIONS.

Damn you skeptics.

I was referring to the final result, not what he did to get there.

Still, cynicism sucks. Oh wait, I mean cynicism is really really useful.

Maybe I wouldn't be like that if you didn't say how "ambitious" their plan was and how they "successfully" "hacked" the superbowl.

Dude. There is like no message. Totally. Utter. Failure. Zug failed.

And a long article on how that failure happened.

I was looking fowrard to that, too.. It's a jumble of lights that doesn't vaguely resemble any words. Too bad, zug has had some pretty good stuff before.

Very neat, but I don't think I would really call this a "hack" of any sort... More like, hmm, deceiving people?

Yes, that guy must have felt very accomplished. Those "hidden light clusters" were totally worth 20,000 dollars!!! 11

The $20,000 that was probably his kid's college fund!

Yeah, go through all that work for nothing. Easier ways of accomplishing it.

What was it supposed to say, anyway?

This is the point. Nobody knows and he hasn't said.

I think he's just embarrassed that he fucked up big time.

Ugh how pointless was that. Might as well used the 20 grand to do something useful. Like pay my tuition.

Lol, yeah that sucked! I read it expecting it to be cool and I don't even know what it said. Probably said PRINCE and he was just passing it off as his own prank.

I thought it was extremely unlikely anyone would ever mistake a bunch of cheap light-up devices for a bomb.[/b]

LOL.
