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.

**wasup** · 03-02-2007 03:51 PM

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

**Kaniaz** · 03-02-2007 04:43 PM

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

And a long article on how that failure happened.

**FreshBrains** · 03-02-2007 04:58 PM

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.

**Datafield** · 03-03-2007 12:59 AM

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

**Pensive Patrick** · 03-03-2007 03:47 AM

It was still cool OK!?!?!!!

**Cyclic13** · 03-03-2007 04:34 AM

No. No it wasn't.

**wasup** · 03-03-2007 04:34 PM

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

**Kaniaz** · 03-03-2007 05:10 PM

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

**arby** · 03-03-2007 05:23 PM

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

**FreshBrains** · 03-03-2007 06:51 PM

What was it supposed to say, anyway?

**Kaniaz** · 03-03-2007 06:59 PM

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

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

**wasup** · 03-03-2007 07:12 PM

it was prolly just like "zug(.com)"

**Umbrasquall** · 03-03-2007 07:18 PM

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

**HereWeGo** · 03-03-2007 07:23 PM

I know he should of did that thing you know. grank k 50 100 o

**Pensive Patrick** · 03-04-2007 07:59 AM

I hate you all...

**Cyclic13** · 03-06-2007 06:00 AM

**Adanac** · 03-09-2007 04:48 PM

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.
