Soccer In A Beehive


If you were wondering, "what in the hell is that noise, noise, NOISE!" while watching the World Cup this month, I have your answer.

The vuvuzela.

Ah yes, the melodious, joyful, er PLASTIC, horn given out to spectators.


Buy some for your kids! Annoy your co-workers! Get some vuvuzela lessons for Father's Day!

BRRRRRRrrrrrrrrbbbblllllrrrrrrr!

After 2 matches at the world cup, we have 2 goals, and two ties.

Feel the magic.

  3. Our office has 2 55" plasma monitors in our team work areas which are typically tuned to CNN, but get used for big sporting events like March Madness and World Cup. Normally I can tune out the games and work, but that buzzing din drove me crazy yesterday. Is there any way for ESPN/ABC to filter this - maybe with a giant pair of Bose noise canceling headphones?
