Hijacking the Superbowl

This story is pretty damn funny...
MIAMI, FL (PRWeb) -- Just days after the Boston bomb scare, another team of Boston-based pranksters smuggled and distributed 2,350 suspicious light-up devices into the Super Bowl. Due to its attractiveness as a terrorist target, Dolphin Stadium was on a Level One security alert, a level usually reserved for Presidential inaugurations. By posing as media reporters, the pranksters were able to navigate 95 boxes through federal marshals, Homeland Security agents, bomb squads, police dogs, and a five-ton X-ray crane.

During the second quarter of the Super Bowl, the team of pranksters -- who call themselves the "Super Six" -- quietly distributed thousands of "Prince Party Packs" to an entire section of Dolphin Stadium. Each packet contained a light-up necklace with official-looking instructions. By turning on the necklace lights during the halftime show, Super Bowl fans believed they would be spelling out the word "PRINCE."

But they didn't. They spelled a secret message that was broadcast to 93.1 million people.
Yeah, they're shamless self promoters, but they're still pretty damn funny.
