The Vuvuzela is blown if they score, it's blown if they miss, it's blown if a foul is given, it's blown if a foul is not given, it's blown for a goal kick, it's blown for a corner.......well, you get my drift. It's a monotonous, omnipresent, F***ing, irritating drone.
No change in noise level as excitement rises, no gasps, no sighs, no boos and no cheers. How, in the name of sweet F**k, can the same, one-tone, constant noise add to atmosphere?
I only know, from watching the Confederations Cup on T.V., that they irritate me. I can only guess that if i had to stand at a match, with twenty thousand of the fuckers constantly sounding off, they'd irritate me just as much.
As for the 'cultural' stuff; that F***ing English trumpet band irks the b'jaysus out of me too; oh and the Vuvuzela only came into mass circulation (plastic form) in 2001 - hardly traditional or 'cultural' really.
IRRITATING AS F**k, I TELLS YA!.
