Now that the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa is here I thought I'd share my opinion on the controversial horn that the South African Soccer fans blow at all the matches, the Vuvuzela. As you know, the Vuvuzela is a long horn that when blown right can emit a loud sounds that some find... obnoxious.

As annoying as the guy who bangs the drums incessantly at the Cleveland Indians game is, this "bee drone" noise is like having your teeth drilled at the dentist. I look at the "fans" that are blowing these things and they look like mindless robots that are paying absolutely no attention to the game. When people pass through security checkpoints at these games, why don't the security people confiscate these annoying devices. … more

A wonderfully loud and annoying sound to show your excitement! I watched the final game on a jumbotron at a bar's block party. There were a handful of vuvuzelas, several people with a vuvuzela phone app, and me wishing I hadn't broke the one I got from a parade when I was 5 by pretending it was a sword.

Don't think that the Vuvuzela is only useful for futbol matches. A co-worker brought his bright green one to our championship bocce ball match last week. He was fan of the day for sure!

I don't know what I like more... the constant B Flat that echoes at all of the South Africa World Cup games or the fact that every European I've talked to thinks the Vuvuzela is the worse thing ever created (besides George Bush). Needless to say, many Euro's take themselves way too seriously.

I don't mind 'em, but I know a few non-soccer fans who heard them during the Confed Cup and were very unhappy with the noises coming from the TV.

i was at Game 6 of the World Series in Anaheim when the Rally Monkey was at the top of his game and the use of Thunder Sticks was at an all time high. It was so loud, just thinking about it gives me a headache again. I can only imagine that South African horn is significantly louder than Thunder Sticks. I hope it helps the South Africa against Mexico this Friday and throughout the World Cup. I always like to root for the underdog.

Are you ready for the World Cup? Did you buy your Vuvuzela yet? Hands down one for the best "instruments" a soccer fan can get his hands on!
