		<description>I am so very happy that a year after I wrote this little post, it&#039;s getting so much attention.

If only I had known that I could stir up such great debate and some wonderful hate-speech, ala Vuvuzela Queen.

So Vuvuzela Queen, where are your facts to render my assertions null? You see, in order for facts to be incorrect, they are no longer facts, are they?

And by the way: I can write exactly what I please and when I please. It&#039;s called the constitution. I could even, for instance, say that you are a bigoted racist who should write in paragraphs.

Yes, you are correct on matter. I love rugby. I do sit at home and watch it. I didn&#039;t miss a single Bulls match this entire season. But your Blatant (a pun) insinuation that I am A: Afrikaans and therefore a big fat racist and B: A football hater, is incorrect and you are a fool for saying so.

I love football, always have. I love Eric Cantona, even more than slagging a fool like you. I love the US Soccer team, due to their amazing spirit. And guess what, I was there to watch them against England and will watch the Algeria game on Wednesday.

To all the haters: I love you all, as I finally have a reason to write again.</description>

		<description>I think we&#039;re all missing the most important revelation here.

Soccer sucks harder than our mothers did the various nights of our conceptions. *All* of the horn-banning just goes to show how brain-dead the fans of the game are in general. If you feel the need to repeat a high volume, high pitched, meaningless, repetitive tone, to the point where everyone around you hates you- you&#039;re probably still around 3 years old in your mentality. OTOH if you don&#039;t bring earplugs to a public event before you even show up, knowing in advance that it is a PUBLIC event and that by virtue of that fact, retardation is likely to abound... and then bitch about your inability to pay attention to the world around you, then you&#039;re just as bad.

The only positive thing I can say about Soccer is that this particular horn fiasco is causing quite a ruckus at /b/.

And I thank South Africa for that. *thumbs up*</description>

		<description>Personally I don&#039;t see the problem with these horns. I reckon that they are only annoying if you let yourself get annoyed by them.

Otherwise why is it that some people feel forced to turn off the TV and others do not, we are all the same inside, from a species point of view.

Via la vuvuzela I say! :D</description>

		<description>I&#039;m Argentinian. I was waiting four years for this cup and now I almost hate it because of the vuvuzelas. No one can hear anything, players can&#039;t pay atention to the match, is incredible how that thing can destroy the game, but it does. I dont know if the vuvuzelas will be banned or not, but Im pretty sure is the last WC in South Africa... just because of the vuvuzelas. 
¡Vamo&#039; Argentina!</description>

		<description>I hate the sound of those bees in a beehive,its annoying and it drowns out the sound of the crowd,and can cause harm to peoples hearing. 

I lived in South Africa for 5 years and this excuse that the vuvuzela is a cultural thing is absolute rubbish, a kudu horn would pass as a cultural trumpet,vuvuzela is a zulu word describing its sound, they are just a copy of a south american cornet/horn nothing to do with south africa,

they were invented by an afrikaner businessman who won an entrepreneur award of the year in 2001 and nothing at all to do with african culture: rhythmic whistling,thumb piano, zulu style drumming and group singing would be much more realistic,culturally accurate and appropriate than a cheap plastic horn made by a dutchman that can damage your eardrums. 

Fifa should have disallowed them to be brought into stadia under H&amp;S grounds for saving peoples hearing and migraines, South Africa&#039;s rich culure could have produced something more stylish and african than a mass produced plastic horn</description>

		<description>If the idiots used that ear-piercing thing to celebrate a goal would be one thing but blowing it for the entire game is just stupid. It makes those &quot;fans&quot; look like retards and it irritates the hell out of everybody. Forget about chants, commentaries and players talk. Al you hear is that fucking thing being blown for no reason whatsoever.

FIFA officials are politically-correct cowards. The vuvuzela has nothing to do with South African culture and their reasoning for not banning it is an offense to anybody who uses the instrument it&#039;s supposed to represent according to the tolerance crowd (which is bullshit since the vuvuzela was imported into the country about 10 years ago).

Try using that shit at any stadium in the civilized world and your ass will be escorted out in no time.

Ban that thing. Please.</description>
