Did Zug punk the entirety of the Super Bowl-watching population this year, an estimated 90 million people? Or is their chronicle of "the most ambitious prank in history" a prank in and of itself? We don't know the answer -- for the record, we're leaning towards hoax -- but Zug claims that with some social networking and 2,350 Prince-themed pendants (ordered from Chinese manufacturer Ok Fun Times Electronics Co.), they were able to get the audience to light up and spell out ZUG.COM during the halftime show, thinking they'd instead be spelling out PRINCE. Ok, makes sense, but you'd think everyone would have heard about this by now, right? Well, Zug claims the media's been trying to cover it up; they expect us to imagine how few would really want to admit that five unauthorized people could transport a quarter ton of boxes on pallets -- contents unknown -- into the most televised sporting event of the year. For the record, what was the cost on this supposed stunt? $40,000 in equipment and legal fees, as well as a 2nd mortgage on lead prankster John Hargrave's home.

The photoshop file says, just, ZUG . COM when you open it and perform the actions. Here is a screengrab of the psd file before running the actions:

Not very interesting, unfortunately..
Most people herd but could not grasp the magnitude of what could be the most important statement made by the U.S. President Post 9/11 statements when Mr. Bush said "we are safer now But we are not as yet safe" He understands.... With great power comes great responsibility! We sometimes don't ask for it but it is granted unto us by the position we adopt, celebrities for gxample have a certain obligation to their fans. I draw this analogy for a reason The United States is seen as the Capital of the world and thin is the reason it was targeted, hence, when law enforcement agents take the oath to protect and serve against all enemies both foreign and domestic, and since 9/11 they are yet to fathom an enemy from within (domestic). There is not yet a strategy to deal with that nuisance.. Since then you are not dealing with the issue of security but rather the illusion of security and that's why box upon box could have been smuggled into the most secure building in the world for one night with the possible exclusion of the White House... This threat from within is the next biggest challenge, because is there really a way to protect yourself against a man willing to die for his cause no matter how extreme the circumstances may seem to us? Remember it id the U.S. that has imposed their customs to the world not the other way around.. When you get a chance Mr. Hargrave and others check out a movie called Canadian Beacon staring John Candy and Reha Pearlman you'll see what I mean.. I am not a American Football fan (i am partial to soccer and cricket) however the first time I herd of thid was last month (May 2007) Amazing. I do belive that it was done and if so all i can say Mr. Hargrave if KUDOS to you...
