Organizer considers banning "vuvuzelas", the noisy plastic trumpets being used by South African fans en masse. Hope so. Too noisy

Not only can vuvuzelas cause hearing loss, they can also spread colds and flu.

Quote:

Vuvuzelas have the potential to spread colds and flu as a lot of breath goes through the vuvuzela," McNerney said, adding that they can infect others on a greater scale than coughing or shouting.

McNerney was involved in a recent study of eight healthy volunteers who blew the vuvuzela in order to measure what comes out at the other end. They found that tiny droplets which can carry flu and cold germs were formed at the bottom of a vuvuzela.

Those particles are small enough to stay suspended in the air for hours, and can enter into the airways of a person's lungs

This guy made a vuvuzela filter. Page is in German and getting slammed with traffic right now so it may not load.

They say south africans are even playing cds with the sound of them through the stadium's speakers.

sortie · 06-14-2010, 08:48 AM

If none of you people are in South Africa right now then I have no idea why you
care about this.

Kenko · 06-14-2010, 08:50 AM

hello.. worldwide tv audience..??

Tom_PM · 06-14-2010, 08:55 AM

Those things are nothing but an annoyance. They SHOULD be banned.

Not exactly ideal is it. Especially when this is the biggest competition in world sport.

They only have themselves to blame mind you for holding it in fucking South Africa in the first place...

J. Falcon · 06-14-2010, 11:29 AM

That shit is fucking annoying.

Mutt · 06-14-2010, 11:39 AM

They announced they won't ban them? Whoa is that the stupidest business move ever - especially in the United States, I won't be watching games I would have watched because of that sound. I'll watch important games in later rounds and put up with the annoyance.

CDSmith · 06-14-2010, 11:40 AM

Sitting and blowing contantly into those noise makers for 2 hours straight seems rather mindless to me. But whatever floats their boat I suppose.

If they can't ban the damn things themselves then maybe for world cup 2014 they'll ban S Africans. :D

I have found that Radio commentary in conjunction with TV with no sound is a nice workaround. Thanks Sarah

i turned it off. damn could you imagine being there?

The fuckers do it all day, not only at the game.

After the game last night, the commentators were interviewing players etc, and the assholes were still doing it in the stadium.

The French team said they couldn't sleep the night before their match because people were out in the streets with those damn things from 6am...

scarlettcontent · 06-14-2010, 12:13 PM

horrific noise, ban it

CDSmith · 06-14-2010, 12:28 PM

If they ban them I would think there'd be riots over it.

If they don't, there'll be a greater and greater outcry from the rest of the world about them.

These damn plastic horns could herald in a whole new era of apartheid.

mattz · 06-14-2010, 12:31 PM

I hate those things, almost considered turning the game off

dirtybaker1331 · 06-14-2010, 01:50 PM

I love the World Cup. I have been waiting a long time for this event but damn...Those things are insanely stupid. I would hate to have flown all the way down there and pay all kinds of money just to be annoyed to the point of suicide. Simmer down now! At least mix it up with some actual melodic tunes instead of one continuing angry swarm of bees sound.

PR_Glen · 06-14-2010, 01:57 PM

worst part is its constant.. if someone scores? sure! if there was a great play? go for it.. your team wins hell yeah.. but constantly? even in the halftime breaks? i couldn't watch the game and do that constantly.. i'd miss the whole thing..

MPGdevil · 06-14-2010, 02:08 PM

Heard in the local news that the company making these horns will from now on make them with a 20db lower max sound level.
All the current sold ones won't be banned though, so a bit too late for that to change anything
