Vuvuzelas
Those obnoxious noisemakers have been banned from the Olympics, but I'm sure I can hear them in the Sweden-Russia hockey game. Maybe I'll hear them less and less as the game goes on as they're found and confiscated, or maybe they're something else and I just think they're vuvuzelas.

Re: Vuvuzuelas
I'm not familiar with this particular custom, but if it's really loud and really obnoxious, and if it sets on edge the teeth of everyone within a listening radius . . . oh yes! And if it drives the television and radio sound people crazy, then yes, it's like the above-mentioned horrible horn.SpacemanSpiff wrote:Kind of like cowbells at Mississippi State conference football games?SportsFan68 wrote:Those obnoxious noisemakers have been banned from the Olympics, but I'm sure I can hear them in the Sweden-Russia hockey game.
