The Vuvuzela Makes its Way Onto Tshirts

Love it or hate it, the vuvuzela is ubiquitous and unavoidable for anyone watching the World Cup soccer tournament. So what is a vuvuzela? According to Wikipedia, it's "a blowing horn up to approximately 1 m (3 ft) in length...commonly blown by fans at association football matches in South Africa.[1] The instrument is played using a simple brass instrument technique of blowing through compressed lips to create a buzz, and emits (from the standard shorter horn of about 60 to 65 centimetres (24 to 26 in)) a loud monotone."

My Brit friend says the real tragedy of the vuvuzela is that it makes singing impossible. I think the thing is just hard on the ears. Some people have gone so far as to create filters for their tv speakers that filter out the vuvuzela. Great idea.

On the other hand, someone must love the damn things...the only thing that's certain is that vuvuzelas make cool t-shirts!
