Vuvuzela: Should they ban from World Cup 2010 even iPhone app?
Now I have to say here that I’m personally not a great fan of football, but when it comes to the World Cup I do occasionally watch a few matches mainly when England play like the other evening against the USA. But I will have to have a gripe here, as the match was rather spoilt by the continued blasting of those devilish Vuvuzela things ruining the entire watchablilty for me and I’m not the only one.
The absolute din from the Vuvuzelas was just way too overpowering, and well according to an article over on NY Daily News, FIFA Word Cup 2010 broadcasters, fans and even the players are demanding that the Vuvuzela be banned from the tournament.
Apparently, Danny Jordaan, the chairman of the World Cup Organising Committee is thinking about a ban and says “It’s something we are evaluating on an ongoing basis.”
Now the thing is if they ban the Vuvuzela from the World Cup 2010, it still leaves the iPhone and the new Vuvuzela application which we reported on earlier (here), so should the World Cup 2010 Organising Committee also issue a ban on the iPhone apps being used during matches?
Apparently the VuVuzela costs $3 in Cape Town and $8 from Amazon while the iPhone app is only $.99, but I do have to say the incredible noise made by thousands of these things going off simultaneously is deafening and completely distracts from what is happening the pitch, so what do you think should the Vuvuzela and the iPhone app be banned from the World Cup?

Ban the Vuvuzela!!! Horrible noise that is offending the rest of the world trying to enjoy the World Cup!
BAN IT PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ban the continuous monotone moronic din! Why cant we have the usual singing & chanting! What is so South African about a monotone trumpet! I'm not going to watch any more games until England play again. That stupid noise is torture & I don't want to remember South Africa 2010 as the one with the sountrack from hell!!! If this is the sound of South Africa then I am a Robot from planet Zorgnoid. I bet Fifa Officials have shares in the Chinese company that makes them!
You are stupid this is part of South Africa football culture. Go and watch your England games. We wont miss u.
Every nation has there culture and there way of doing things. When we go to other nations nobody stoped them from cheering their way and so I don't think there is any validity to get people change there culture for no reason. The days of colonialism are over and Africa is independent. So you can't us force to do what pleases you. Swallow the pill. If you can't watch this one coz of the Vuvuzela, then wait for the next world cup. There is always next time
