I honestly don't notice them at all. Then again, I've trained my ears to block just about all noise from a game. My wife and I will be watching a Cards game and she'll ask what Dan and Al were just talking about and most of the time I had no idea that they were even talking.

Heh. I used to be a trumpet player and last night I taught myself how to make my own vuvuzela sound. Pretty close to real and very loud. My wife wasn't impressed. I didn't care.
Ask her if she can play your vuvuzela. :wink:

I went to visit my ailing grandfather yesterday, and he had ESPN on. He's not a soccer fan, but he can barely see and as he said, it's more exciting to watch things moving than the news or a sitcom. Anyway, we all got a kick out of his hearing aid, which we could all hear, as it was going crazy trying to negate the sound of the vuvuzuelas. My cranky 94 year old grandpa even laughed, saying "That's what that damn racket is? I thought it was the TV"

What's [expletive] awesome is that Landon and Timmy got like 2 seconds of face time in that video, yet they've played way, way better than any of the other featured players.

I think I'm rooting for the U team in the first one. Mostly because I have no idea where that country is.
Edit - I changed my mind because their national anthem is dumb.
Go Korea.
Edit Nice Play URU

Uruguay and Paraguay are like North and South Dakota, except different.

Root for Korea. We play the winner (assuming we win).
