Can TV not do something about that? No wonder americans can't get into this. I'd like to watch, but can't stand what sounds like a million buzzing bees.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
No worse than thunder sticks.
EVERYTHING I can find about these "vuvuzelas" get's the history wrong. I don't care when they first showed up in world soccer, they're plastic stadium horns and they've been around in the U.S. since the 1960s and I probably got my first one at a Ringling Brothers circus at Chicago Stadium in 1969.

Right. The only difference is that in the Western World, few in the stadiums have them and the noise is sparatic, fun and tolerable. In South Africa there's no ryhme or reason to the horns, and they go constantly, while thousands are playing them. It must get boring...
