It’s important not to be distracted during the world cup because you might miss one of those rare “goals” people seem to be so excited about.

They sold them at parades when I was growing up, too. But I think the Vuvuzela is specifically constructed a bit differently to get a specific sound out of it. Seems a bit shriller and at a different pitch.

They used to sell them thangs at Yankee Stadium back in the 60s. I think they had to stop because people were beating each other up with ‘em.

Glad I’m not on an island all by myself on that one.

I think the hummmmmmmmm adds cultural zest to the World Cup. Doesn’t bother me too much. =D

The mute button on the television also works. Your not missing anything by not having announcers. Like most other sports, 90% of what they say is “after the fact”, the other 10% is mindless drivel.
