Vuvas

So...if you've been in a hole and dont know what the buzzing misquito/hornet/syren sound that can be heard for the entirety of the match broadcast...the noise comes from a highly annoying instrument known as a vuvazela. A few things are known about the vuvazela.

First, its a long plastic horn that runs about 2 south african rand...or $0.25. Anyone is capable of using it to extraordinarily noise levels...including 3 year olds.

They are LOUD....not just like "could you please turn that down" loud...more like..."take me to the doctor, my ears are bleeding....WHAT?!?!....NOOO...i SAID...TAKE ME TO THE DOCTOR, MY EARS ARE BLEEDING...OOOHHH, NEVERMIND" loud.

A few other things about the vuvazela...everyone has one, and they are exponentially more annoying when placed in the hands of drunken european assholes in enclosed places...such as a tunnel...like...when they point it right at your ear, simply because your sweatshirt says "United States of America" on the back, and then proceed to call you a sissy because you swat it away.

However annoying the Vuvas might be...it must be said that there never seems to be a dull moment in a match. Its never quiet and it always seems to make things more interesting. And when something good does happen, they bring the noise levels just that much higher than if they werent around, so I guess they arent ALL bad.

All thats left to say is....thank god I have a set of earplugs with me.
