With all the controversy surrounding the vuvuzela being played at the 2010 FIFA World Cup Games, I thought it would be appropriate to defend this defenseless plastic horn. Please watch this YouTube Video explaining why I am pro-vuvuzela.
So in short, the sound the vuvuzela makes is not annoying, loud or distracting, but instead, it’s the sound of a nation coming together, against all odds to show the world they can do it. They are South Africa and they are ready.
So what do you think? Should the vuvuzela be played at the 2010 FIFA World Cup Soccer Matches? Take this poll and share your feedback by commenting.
Other parts of Africa are notorious for Police and other Government Officials accepting bribes, but I forget that sometimes South Africa, for all it’s first-world advances, is just as susceptible. Take for instance what happened to us last week.
Our driver was driving us home from work and going about 120 km/hr on the highway. I believe the speed limit was 120 km/hr, but I can’t be entirely sure. I wasn’t paying that close of attention. Off in the distance was a speed trap.
Today’s post was another avenue to involve our readers in our travels to Thailand. The goal was to show them what they wanted to see. With the hectic schedule we had, we weren’t able to create a singular post that answered our readers comments – but we did try to incorporate them into other posts.
This was a big experiment that worked to some extent. But that was the point. To use this platform to try new things. Blogging is fantastic!
It’s a horn that’s played at Football (Soccer) matches in South Africa. I bought one today and have been puckering up all day long. Take a look in this YouTube video.
Bringing Controversy to the 2010 World Cup
As I was researching more about the Vuvuzela I discovered it’s divided some soccer fans. Those pro-Vuvuzela credit it’s African roots and widespread acceptance at football games. Those on the other team contest that they are distracting, loud, annoying and do nothing to add to the game. Representatives from FIFA wanted to ban them from the World Cup Competition, but ultimately gave in to the growing public pressure to add African character to the 2010 games. As of this writing, the Vuvuzela will be allowed in the stadiums.
