Vuvuzela - South African World Cup Soccer Horn for $7.99
This is the horn of choice for soccer fans in the stadiums in South Africa. It kind of sounds like an elephant and is a great way to show your support for your on-field heroes.
it is annoying too. I have a headache from the games on Saturday and Sunday and I was only watching it via TV. BTW there is a better deal here: http://deals.woot.com/deals/details/2bb293d0-b42b-44b0-9fe8-05a38225a085/yellow-vuvuzela-horn-from-windy-city-novelties#37
And they are all on backorder.
@hobbit: Did you see this news item about reducing the noise? http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/worldcup2010/2010/06/15/2010-06-15_world_cup_broadcast_company_to_drown_out_crowds_vuvuzelas_noise_after_complaints.html
I don't follow soccer. How long are the games on? What are the best days/times to watch? And what station are they on? (Too lazy to Google)
bah! I had picked the black one and it said it was in stock at the time of posting. Never thought of checking every color.
@iamjs: they are all back ordered
@mtrlgrl: ESPN for most games. ABC for a few on weekends.
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/ I watch them online since I don't have cable and most matches are airing during the work day.
Tournament goes on until the final on July 11th.
biggest upset of the games so far? Switzerland beating Spain, Spain has had a massive winning streak I guess.
[edit] just read the news story. That is great news. I just feel bad for everyone IN the stadium. That noise has to be horrible live in the wild. I wanted them banned at the stadium level because I can only imagine that the players can't hear each other.
@hobbit: I found another site that tells you how to block the noise http://www.veryshortlist.com/vsl/daily.cfm/review/1585/Website/buzz-kill/
@mtrlgrl: I just mute the game on TV I had to do that halfway through the Germany game. I won't see another game until Saturday anyway only game cast radio has already filtered out the noise. ;)
