So the soccer world championship has begun, in South Africa this time around. Turns out the natives like to blow on large plastic horns, called vuvuzelas/vuvuzelae.

One of those assflutes makes an annoying noise, but a whole goddamn stadium of vuvuzela blowers will make you completely fucking deaf. And on tv broadcasts there's not much other sound than the constant vuvuzela blowing. It sounds like the mother of all bee hives put in front of a 100 foot megaphone. The sound of the actual soccer match is difficult to hear.

Making matters worse, the vuvuzela has become some kind of cool gadget in Holland. And all the kids and soccer maniacs in the neighbourhood are blowing on their own vuvuzela. How I'd like to stick it up their ass and inflate them like a frog...

It wouldn't be half as bad if they didn't blow on it constantly but unfortunately there seems to be only madness to their method. No appreciation of when they should give it a rest and when they need to build up the tempo. Cannot imagine how it sounds in the stadium but I would probably go deaf/mad.

I completely respect the centenary tradition behind this curious and noisy instrument, but now they're literally abusing of my tympanic membrane
Also, is it me or the overall noise is much louder this year if compared to last year's Confederation Cup?

I don't respect the stupid tradition at all, so hope they get banned.

The noise it makes is way out of line, it should get banned.
And the shit that it makes the moral of the players go up is probably true for the ones that are used to play this instrument, for everyone else its just frustrating.

this. God dammit it's so freaking annoying.
Plus you have no idea who is cheering for whom. All you hear is this freaking constant sound for 90 minutes. :/

They should ban them from all matches where South Africa is not playing. But they should be able to cheer for their own team with it.

But then they can argue that by using the Vuvuzelas in other matches is also cheering up for their team, just like when some fans go in an unrelated match with their team's flag and wave it - it has no relation to the current match, but they are cheering their team. And so far, I have seen the SA colors in the crowds in all games.

I have a feeling that when the world cup is over, we'll still be hearing those vuvuzelas for a long time.

I think there's a positive side to everything... and I'm glad they're not holding machetes or AK's.

If you want to piss off the South African vuvuzela terrorists, you could also wear the 'Africaman' suit. It makes you look like you're riding... well, a negro. It's not racist by the way, it's just a funny gadget.

You guys are too susceptible, the vuvuzelas clearly represent the most variegate aspects of Africa such as the stampede of noisy elephants, a deafening swarm of locusts, a goat on the way to slaughter and a giant hive full of very angry bees.

Rich Mkhondo also said vuvuzelas had worldwide appeal.

"Let us not make this a South Africa instrument alone," he said. "A vuvuzela is now an international instrument. People buy them and stuff them in their suitcase to go home.


i'd rather have them bring home ebola than those fucking plastic horns Mad

Right. Laughing

I haven't watched a single full game and I'm sick of this shit already.

Remember the World Cup when it was in Japan, every time the ball went near either goal all the fans started to scream, now THAT was annoying.

FUCK I couldn't stand more than 30 min of ITA - PAR because of this beehive annoying-as-shit sound.

It really gave me a headache. Hope they will ban that crappy horn except for SA team matches. And if they do, hope SA will be out next time...
