Vuvuzela should be banned.

[Torc]

Personally I think that the vuvuzela should be banned.

We have enough problems with yobs and politician's causing
noise pollution.

[Hack]

You need one more option for your poll:

4. What the hell is a Vuvuzela?

[Arve K.]

[wossname]

Stop trying to suppress South Africa's cultural heritage. The vuvuzela has it's roots thousands of years in the past where nomadic hunter-gatherers would make irritating reed instruments in order to communicate over long distances out in the bush. The more irritating, the better since it keeps all the dangerous animals away.

In banning the vuvuzela, you are effectively demanding the re-institution of apartheid. Mandela would be turning in his grave if he was dead.

Can you live with that? Can you, eh? EHHH?

[techgnome]

you're missing two more options, even after Hack's addition:
5) Who cares?
6) huh? What? I can't hear you. Speak up.

[mendhak]

bbbbbbbbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[InvisibleDuncan]

Definitely not. There's no point in having the contest in Africa for the first time if you're going to stop the Africans from supporting in their traditional way. It's nothing less than cultural imperialism.

That said, I hate the noise - but it's my problem, not theirs. At least it drowns out the sound of the England fans singing "The referee's a ******" and other such charming ditties.

[baja_yu]

I'm voting for option 4.

After Googling, I'm changing to option 5.

[abhijit]

Free vuvuzelas should be given out at every spectator sport.

[Hack]

Ah, excuse me, but...Duh! venezuela is in South America not Africa...geez...didn't you people ever take geography?

[MaximilianMayrhofer]

Vuvuzuela, derived from the words vulva and venezuela.



Some context required.

[Hack]

Once, when I was a kid, I won a "how far can you spit" context. It was very cool.

[abhijit]

Once, when I was a kid, I won a "how far can you spit" context. It was very cool.

Today, there's an app for that.

[Hack]

Today, there's an app for that.

It is so very, very sad, but I would not be the least bit surprised to discover you are correct.

[abhijit]

i was kidding, but upon googling, I came across this.

How far can you spit a watermelon seed? From the creators of the Wumbler series comes the coolest simulated seed spitting game, iSeed Spit. Realistic watermelons seed spit, flip and bounce across the screen once you blow into the microphone.

[Torc]

Ah, excuse me, but...Duh! venezuela is in South America not Africa...geez...didn't you people ever take geography?

I was going to ask where Hack got venezuela from, but then I realised that he was simply replying in Advance to MaximilianMayrhofer's post.

Vuvuzuela, derived from the words vulva and venezuela.

Hack = Post 11 at 5:44PM
MaximilianMayrhofer = Post 12 at 6:30PM

So Hack, does this work with Poker, or Roulette?

[Hack]

So Hack, does this work with ... Roulette?

The Russion variety, yes

[wossname]

Huh huh he said venezuela huh huh.

[JWJWJW]

My vote goes to option 1.
Since it's a South American (or South African) tradition, anyway, i think only those supporters should have them.

And a tip to the suplier: Add more notes??

For the record: Holland is gonna win this year!

[NeedSomeAnswers]

For the record: Holland is gonna win this year!

At what, best ambush marketing gone wrong ?

[MaximilianMayrhofer]

Deutschland uber alles!

[NickThissen]

This world cup has been a little strange so far... Everyone (including me) was expecting Holland to crush Denmark, yet they played very badly and only won by sheer luck (own goal and rebound). And now Spain is beaten by Switzerland? *** is going on

I do think it's good for Holland to not crush their opponents in the first matches for once though. Usually, they win 4-0 or more in the first few matches against the better teams (beaten Italy and France easily in the last european cup I think), then everyone expects us to win the cup, and then they lose to some stupid third world country (so to speak, no offence lol) in the knockout stages and boom, the end... Maybe this time they will lose a few matches and only reach their peak performance when it really matters and win the cup... But I doubt it.

[opus]

Deutschland uber alles!

wrong spelling it should read:

BTW: Vuvuzela is just the phonetic depiction for "Uwe Seeler".

[HanneSThEGreaT]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vuvuzela

I am a proud South African, although disappointed in last night's refereeing, but still.

Sad to say, I also do not like the Vuvuzela much. Blown once or twice, fine, but not the whole time. Don't get me wrong, I also have a vuvuzela at home. And when it is suited, I blow it

But, that being said, what did the people expect? This is Africa, we have our own unique qay of doing things, live with it Would you have preffered lions in the streets, elephants storming the stadiums? We're a bit more advanced these days....

[NeedSomeAnswers]

Would you have preffered lions in the streets, elephants storming the stadiums?

That would be brilliant, why weren't you on the organising committee ?

The early games would certainly be more exciting if the players had to deal with Elephants on the pitch as well as play football.

[opus]

At least this referee knew how to silence those Vuvuzelas.

[abhijit]

Argentina 4 - South Korea 1

Did anyone watch this match?

[JWJWJW]

The dutch tv station changed the volume level between game and commentator. That at least reduces the desturbance at home...

After a fuw games, the noise is pretty much gone, and i got used to it.
I don't hate them anymore, but I think 1000's of djembe's, all in 1 rithm would be more awsome. imagine, a full stadium performing k'naan - wavin flag

[Sahir]

Yes I agree, he is a moron and should be banned from posting here

[baja_yu]

As usual, software geeks have the answers http://lifehacker.com/5566097/vuvuze...cup-broadcasts

[akhileshbc]

I thought Vuvuzela is a user in this forum.

[JPnyc]

This is especially for those of you who don't feel they should be banned.

[NickThissen]

Heh. Can't you make that the default here? Just to get people in a festive mood?

[JPnyc]

I'd consider it Nick, but the job market still isn't all that great here.

[akhileshbc]

This is especially for those of you who don't feel they should be banned.

That's cool....

Can you tell me how to do that ?

[HanneSThEGreaT]

That's the spirit!!!!

That is funky!
