If you haven't been watching The World Cup, you better have a good excuse! And if you have, then you've probably noticed the ever-present buzzing noises that sounds like entire stadiums are full of bees. That would be the South African Soccer Instrument of Choice, the vuvuzela and plenty of people hate them and actually are pushing to ban them. (Some thoughts on that, here.) Personally, I tend to agree with the notion that the vuvuzela is unique to South Africa and they should be able to put whatever stamp they want on their World Cup. Yet at the same time, I miss the singing... the England fans got lost in a sea of vuvuzela buzzing as did the Dutch fans and their aria from 'Aida.'
But in the end, I think they should stay, despite being annoying...
