…to not watch the World Cup (I didn’t — I already had plenty), beware the vuvuzela.

All the Who girls and boys would wake bright and early. They’d rush for their toys! And then!

Oh, the noise! Oh, the Noise! Noise! Noise! Noise!

Speaking of Who girls and boys, apparently not all the venues/events are selling out. So, to feel better, they are considering giving away the extra seats for free. We all know that the best way to improve sells is to start giving things away, but there are unintended onsequences.

This is great. I think we should have these horns for American football.

I’m going through that now, the dardinkers and all.

But soccer? Just like hockey as far as I’m concerned, who cares. It’s a cultural thing that I missed out on.

We get some of these at football and hockey games in Canada. Just a few at the hockey arena can be quite annoying. Not so bad outdoors, but it looks like at least two or three orders of magnitude worse at the World Cup.

I feel like I’m in a Time Machine.

These horns were OUTLAWED in Jacksonville Suns Minor League Baseball games…circa…1968, or there abouts. They went from selling them, to killing them in about a month or so. 100 or 200 of them blowing was deafening, I can’t imagine THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS.

And what football (soccer) needs is something to block it from view, not something to drown out the sportscasters. The only thing more boring to watch is an International Paint Drying Contest.
