    Listen to Vuvuzela radio! I've been listening to it since this morning and can't get enough of its serene music.

    I'm amazed this thread is 6 pages. Everyone, outside of South Africa, hates them what is there to talk about?

    Well of course Swoly-D has to be his usual self-righteous and pompous self, and proclaim that anyone that doesn't agree with him isn't a good human being. People took the usual bait and the thread grows.

    Swoly is just misunderstood. You will grow to love him eventually.

    Back to the topic... I didn't even notice the stupid horns today, I was too into the game!

    viva Mexico babosos!!!!

    This is the musical composition I feel best reflects the sound of the Vuvuzela.

    <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uzOb3UhPmig&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uzOb3UhPmig&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

    I would much rather listen to this composition:

    <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hUJagb7hL0E&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hUJagb7hL0E&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

    Great idea for a Rockets promotion: Vuvuzela night, Houston v. Utah Jazz, first 10,000 fans get free Rockets red vuvuzela.

    Only people who aren't committed to the goal get tired.

    These vuvuzelas are accomplishing only two things:

    1) Making noise.
    2) Making sure South Africa will never host another international sporting event.

    What Happens When You Auto-Tune a Vuvuzela? Geekosystem Investigates.

    Auto-tuned Vuvuzela to "Final Countdown" :grin:

    I was watching the final minutes of the USA soccer win last night...and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It was a constant noise that never stopped. Bill Clinton even looked fed up with it. If I wanted to make a film about swarming killer bees, then I need go no further to get the sound for it than take a snippet of audio from one of those games.

    If the sound is constant, then what is the point of even making it? Is the goal for everyone to have a headache by the end of the game?

    Man, screw soccer if they all have that sound for every game.
