RE: footie corner
thanks pict. from the wiki link
"Vuvuzelas have been controversial.[2] They have been associated with permanent noise-induced
hearing loss[3], cited as a possible safety risk when spectators can't hear evacuation
announcements[4], and potentially spread colds and flu germs on a greater scale than coughing or
shouting[5][6]. Commentators have described the sound as "annoying" and compared it with "a
stampede of noisy elephants,"[7] "a deafening swarm of locusts,"[8] "a goat on the way to
slaughter"[9] and "a giant hive full of very angry bees."
i nailed the last description. thing is i didn't see one spectator blowing on one. i wonder if the stadium
throws on a "best of vuvuzelas" cd and pipes it through the sound system.
what a way to give away a win. that goal was simply horrible.
