Must be true then.
I don’t have a problem with them, do we want a corporate bland world cup or do we want a world cup that says Africa.
I find them no more annoying than Mexican Waves, Car horns, Chants taken from Soccer AM, The England Band, Playing songs after teams score. Crap music before the games,
FYI it's South Africa and not Africa...completely different in Culture to other countries in Africa as a whole.
They are annoying as fuck..
if you have actually been to South Africa and experienced it you will find it is FUCKING ANNOYING to the extreme....if you have'nt..well....you just dont know how really annoying they are.......do you !?

Vuvuzelas have been controversial.[2] They have been associated with permanent noise-induced hearing loss,[3] cited as a possible safety risk when spectators can't hear evacuation announcements,[4] and potentially spread colds and flu viruses on a greater scale than coughing or shouting.[5][6] Commentators have described the sound as "annoying" and compared it with "a stampede of noisy elephants,"[7] "a deafening swarm of locusts,"[8] "a goat on the way to slaughter"[9] and "a giant hive full of very angry bees."[10]
The sound level of the instrument has been measured at 131 dB(A) at the opening of the horn and at 113 dB(A) two metres in front of the opening, both dangerously high levels for unprotected ears.[11]
