They will be all you hear at the World Cup when the matches are on, they are annoying as fuck!  JOHANNESBURG — Its name in Zulu roughly translates to "making a lot of noise" — and it sure does. Nothing represents the sheer exuberance of South African soccer fans better than the "vuvuzela," the trombone-length plastic horn that will be heard in force starting Friday at the World Cup. Some say the vuvuzela — pronounced voo-voo-ZAY-lah — makes a beautiful, boisterous noise. Others call it an annoying racket. When thousands of the horns are blown in a stadium, they create a buzzing din, described as similar to the wail of foghorns, the trumpeting of a herd of elephants, or perhaps the traffic jam from hell. |

Yeah I saw that Andy Ansah on about how great they were on some Coca-Cola World Cup Celebrations show, it was complete shite, he organised a celebration for SA where they all prompt the crowd to play their vuvuzela's simultaneously.
Theyre soooooo fucking annoying, sounds like a big swarm of bees.

Haha, I watched that, Ansah is a right tit, the south african goal celebration is pretty good but the noise will surely drown out most of the voice controlled atmosphere from the hard core fans. |

I'd be seriously pissed if i'd paid a small fortune to travel out there to watch a game and had to sit through 90 mins of that fucking noise. Pissed to the point of taking it off someone and beating them to death with it. Just as well i have neither the money nor the inclination to watch a game in the WC.

They're a serious health hazzard I apparently World cup fans warned about risk of hearing damage from vuvuzela South African football fans’ instrument of choice, the vuvuzela horn, has already caused controversy ahead of the World Cup with authorities concerned that their excessive volume could prevent people from hearing announcements should a stadium need to be evacuated. Now, new tests have shown that the instrument is so loud, they pose a more immediate health risk to fans and players. ___________________________________________________ The remainder of that article: www.hear-the-world.com/en/press/detail/cHash/4a663904ea/back/7/read/world-cup-fans-warned-about-risk-of-hearing-damage-from-vuvuzela.html___________________________________________________ Haha manutd11times yeah he is such a fucking tit:L, I wonder if Wazza thinks he is as he was on Wayne Rooney's street striker, I really hope so, he's already so endearing, if he thinks Ansah is a tit then he might be God. |

Not a half bad plan there with the new protest initiative, I actually forsee a future for that if implemented. We'll go for the childish annoy the fuck outta them til they leave approach utilizied when trying to get a younger sibling to leave a room.
Also saw that coca-cola Andy Ansah debacle, the South African's couldn't even score on take one in training. Hopefully they'll be sent packing, well no need to pack really just trudge to their residences disconsolately, anyway hopefully that'll see a reduction in the vuvuzela noise level. All I know is the mute button on my remote will be under severe stress over the summer... especially if Mark Lawrenson is providing co-commentary.

Haha oh yeah Ansah and his little corepgraphed frolick, so pointless hiring him and his prada shades for anything. The mute button on my remote will be under severe stress this summer... especially if Mark Lawrenson is providing co-commentary.

As Manchester United fans, we have no shortage of ideas.. ;D I agree with you though about the mute button. Imagine, TF1 in France is following 3 teams; France, Ivory Coast and Algeria so, you can imagine everthing that an England player does that is considered wrong, will be criticised heavily...  |
