You may have already been annoyed by vuvuzelas, but now you can be annoyed by them while watching youtube videos!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F61nn8mVzTg&feature=related
click the soccer ball icon in the bottom right of the screen. (random video)


Is't life, I ask, is't even prudence, to bore thyself and bore thy students?

I guess that is kind of interesting, but it is also kind of annoying. I doubt that I will ever click that soccer ball button again... Unless I'm showing somebody else how annoying it is.

I don't know what vuvuzela is, but the sound is god awful and annoying as hell! Also it's pointless, I don't know what's up with that...

If you don't know what a vuvuzela is, then you probably don't watch the FIFA World Cup. If that's the case, then you deserve to be dragged out into the street and shot.

Anyway, I hate those horns soooo much.

Yeah, they're the horns that just about everybody in the audience seems to be blowing.

Though pretty amusing YouTube feature.

Well considering all the western European countries are pretty crap this time I'd be surprised if more people were watching it.

I haven't wasted enough of my time watching footbore to be annoyed by them enough, but I don't see what the big deal is. Your ears eventually get used to the constant swarm of bees.

I'd love to see things from your point of view but I can't get my head that far up my bum.

Then I'm one. I've only watched UK v USA and Chile v Spain and fell asleep during almost both of them .

As for the vid, I get put onto Warmonger: RC3 beta vid...but yes, Vuvuzelas are horrible . I remember the announcer saying during the UK v USA match that they're going to ban vuvuzelas hopefully...

No. I am not into Football, Ice Hockey, Baseball, Soccer, or any of those sports. I am more of a music/movies/computers/games kinda person. So just drag me out on the streets, but beware that I have pet bear. Don't believe me? Well:

Now I know what vuvuzela is, looked it out from Google. But I know that much that the sound is annoying, and that is one more reason for me to not watch FIFA or whatever.

Oh, and that's just a quick drawing of my pet bear Akakabuto.

*Uruguay.

They're probably citizens of Germany. I don't know how lax they are on defining what a 'German' person is over there or what FIFA regulations are. They could have been born in Germany and have a German birth certificate - my mate Nav, we call him Indian, but technically, because he's born in the UK with a British birth certificate he's British and by the same technicality, I'm the only Welshman in my family...I can't even say 'boyo' right, let alone even pretend to sound Welsh.

I think you are talking about Jerome and Kevin-Prince Boeteng. Jerome plays for Germany and Kevin-Prince plays for Ghana. They both have dual citizenship for Ghana and Germany.
If there are another set of Uruguayan brothers then Germany really are taking the mick!

There are three brothers in the Honduras squad: Wilson, Johnny and Jerry Palacios.
