Am I the only one pissed off with the vuvuzelas?

Am I the only one pissed off with the vuvuzelas?

Post by RuleBritannia » Mon Jun 14, 2010 7:04 pm

I hate these god damn plastic trumpets fucking buzzing for 90 minutes non-stop in every World Cup game. B z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z. It doesn't matter who's playing, who has possession or who's scored a goal, it's the same fucking buzzing. Where's the atmosphere, the veriety of instruments, drums, trumpets (that play more than one note), the singing and chanting, the oh's and ah's?

It's so bloody annoying I don't even have the sound on during the games anymore, I just put it on mute with some music on. It's even worse on the radio, all you can hear is the commentators and the bubble bees. B z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z B z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z B z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z B z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z B z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z!

Ban the vuvuzela!

Post by Coito ergo sum » Mon Jun 14, 2010 7:15 pm

The constant droning of the vuvuzela – the traditional South African horn that has been a permanent backdrop to this tournament – is becoming such an annoyance to fans, players and television viewers that soccer’s governing body is considering drastic action.

I couldn't agree more. I was commenting about this on Saturday. WTF????? Stop it already! :cry:

The challenge is finding someone who's not pissed off with them.

I think we should reinstitute sporting sanctions against South Africa until every last one is melted down.

They've been popular in South Africa since the early '90s, but they've only been mass produced in plastic form since 2001. And in a massive coincidence I looked up when the iPod first came out... it was 2001.
