Ban Soccer from Vuvuzela Concerts

June 17, 2010

I’ll be straight up. Vuvuzelas are awesome. Sure, they may induce premature hearing loss due to their unbearable volume. They may require me to turn my TV volume up into the 50′s to hear what the commentators are saying. They probably even scare children. However, I love them.

I could develop a sustained argument here why I think that vuvuzelas are great, but I can’t begin to imagine why one would even be necessary. Instead, I’m going to share some vuvuzela-related links with you, the true fan of the vuvuzela.
