The All-Vuvuzela Roundup

Rich Reilly chimes in on the World Cup. He also dislikes the vuvuzelas, so I started to think I was wrong to dislike them. I agree in principle (The fans blow them ” all the time, without rhyme nor reason” and “One of the charms of soccer is the singing that fans do”), but not execution (“They sound like 80,000 yaks getting sick.” and “We are from Norway! We came on a plane! And we are very drunk!”). Typical Reilly. (ESPN)

There will be no vuvuzelas at Wimbledon. Bless the English. (New York Daily News)

The first vuvuzela-related injury. (Assuming no one has taken a vuvuzela from a fellow spectator and beaten them to death.) A woman burst her windpipe “blowing too hard.” That’s called Darwinism folks. (Daily Mail)

Here’s where the gif originated.
