Vuvuzelas!

And those who think they can't bear this oh so terrible sound are free to switch off the tv or stay away from the stadiums. Offering earplugs sounds stupid to me. Why would you go to a soccer game when you want to put earplugs in there? Either you go and put up with the vuvuzelas or you stay at home.
That's my 2 cents.

This is the World Cup...not the South African soccer league. There are 31 other countries represented who are complaining about these ear splitting horns (reports say over 127 db). If the South Africans want to ruin their hearing...that's fine. What about everyone else in the stadium? You can't even hear the commentary on TV from the incessant noise. FIFA needs to step in and ban these things before there is trouble.
