I almost bought one today, 10$. My friend put some sense into me.
I still have my iphone with the vuvuzela app connected to my 600w car sound system :D :D :D :D :D |

Would it be safe to assume that the ppl who blow the Vuvuzela got into the game for next to nothing and/or don't care about soccer and are just there to make their mark by making as much noise as possible?
Because, it would be impossible to blow that plastic noise maker and follow the action on the field. If you paid good money on seats you'd be more inclined to watch the game. It would surprise me if the government paid idiots with aids to sit in the bad seats to fill the stadium.
At least in the USA finals tickets are so expensive that it eliminates the riffraff. leaving the only dedicated fans and wealthy. You aren't going $500 bucks and spend the game blowing Vuvuzela. |

If that is the case, I find it unlikely foreigners would pay to fly to south africa, buy a Vuvuzela, learn how to play it and blow it instead of watching the game. |

They blow it AND watch the game not unlike the other fans that play drums, blow more honourable kinds of horns, and try to get the number of that girl sitting in front of them. |

Yes, I think idiot is a perfect word to describe your typical soccer fan, just based on them blowing that . Tennis is perfect example of how you don't need to be a douche bag to enjoy and appreciate a game. Take Wimbledon for example. Try to bring a Vuvuzela in and you find yourself thrown out immediately. Just highlights how when idiots are allowed to do what ever they want they ruin it for the rest of us. |

Or they do it Guatemalan style, which is pretty much all of the above plus emptying their bladder on a Ziploc bag and then toss it into the opposing team's supporters. True story. |

Vuvuzelas are banned at the Yankee stadium
(and tickets are dirt cheap)
:o
They can't ban them from the South African soccer games because of the "culture" issue |

Or...it may more aptly describe the typical self-absorbed yank sports fan who thinks a game like Tennis is comparable to Football both in style, pace, and environment; and that big sporting events should only be available to the "wealthy". |

It must be very charming when you're trying to pick up a girl:

*pisses in a bag, hurls at guy a wearing different uniform*
So, how 'bout dinner tonight? Can I pick you up at 8? |
