More vuvuzela "facts" in the article comments.

I know it's a bit late to post this, but those wretched things might come back! Be warned!

I used to think the only thing more annoying than the Tampa Bay Ray’s cowbells and the voice of Hillary Clinton until I heard my first vuvuzela. Now I think the vuvuzela must have been invented by Nelson Mandela’s wife as a backup in case the ANC should ever run out of kerosene-filled tires to put around the necks of their victims.

My ex used to criticize me that I could never find that part on her, I said if we turned on the lights, maybe I could.

You’re looking in the wrong place. Try South Africa.

For those of us to whom this is a issue of monumental importance, those who will not let this travesty stand, those whose musical taste must prevail over the masses of asses and their droning horns, there is still ~The Secret Weapon~!

When you blow one, do hyenas come running to see if there’s a wounded rabbit on the menu?

I did, but she said if I went there, she’d bite it off.

I can see why she’s your ex.

Not only were you looking in the wrong place, you were looking for the wrong thing. :)

I’d rather hear the vuvuzela for hours than one minute of the messiah’s voice.

What? Soccer games?

What’s so new about the vuvuzela?

In the fall of 1964, we carried three foot long plastic bugles to high school football games. They were however blown only when one’s team scored or got a first down.

Having gone to many many soccer games I remember only the drums that left us nearly deaf for hours after the game.

The vuvu’s were worse than those drums, for sure.
