They should be confiscated as soon as you enter the stadium. Very distracting watching the Germany match, even when I switched over to 5 Live commentary, all I could hear was those blasted vuvus.

the Vuvu is just white noise. Indeed.

I've just received an email from a friend who is actually at the tournament, apparently there are signs at every entrance to the stadiums:

Instruction to South Africans: Honk if you have AIDS.

English football association has encouraged and invited people to introduce Vuvuzelas as part of English football culture, too. I read it today in either BBC's news, Independent, Times, or Guardian today - these were the four British papers I skimmed today, and in one of them they had a long article about it. They want every club selling them in the club's colours.

Well, then I even prefer the club's hooligans. From them you can at least run away.

I did not trust my eyes at first, but they were serious.

In Germany, many cities have banned Vuvus from Rudelguck events (=public viewing)
