World Cup organiser mulls vuvuzela ban
Criticism of the vuvuzelas has been almost as loud as the instruments themselves with broadcasting companies complaining the din is almost drowning out commentary.
The horns aren't at all musical, they're just noisemakers. I've heard them exactly once and I thought a swarm of locusts was devouring the stadium. Irritating as all get out. If they get rid of the horns because they're fuckin' with the broadcasts that the broadcasters no doubt paid big money to do, that's fine with me.
Sell the fans cowbells. Heh.
Update:
Video at LATimes. Memorable line:
"Going into stadium without vuvuzela is like going to war unarmed."
Oooooookay....

Finally a good use for vuvuzelas - cat toys:
One hopes the soccer fan gave up his vuvuzela voluntarily...

And finally (if all goes well, but I doubt it), here's what the World Cup is all about:
This should hold me until halftime: It's understood that if you get up to get a Budweiser at the World Cup, you come back with a round. How you carry that round is a matter of personal preference. There's the Six-pack Strangler, the Saint Bernhard and this guy - who seems to be a hybrid of the the Claw and the Labrador Retriever. (Serbia vs. Ghana in Pretoria.)
Budweiser? In South Africa? I heer'd they had animals in Africa. Haven't they got any local critters that can piss in a bottle? "This batch ain't quite done. Run it through the giraffe one more time."
