Now That’s What I Call Vuvuzela: Love It Or Hate It?

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

I received a funny email yesterday. Do you remember the “Now that’s what I call music” CDs? Well this years’ World Cup in South Africa is already causing mixed views over the Vuvuzela.

Love It or Hate It?

The Vuvuzela is an instrument that is used by blowing, much like you would with a brass instrument like a trumpet. The instrument makes a monotone bee type buzzing sound and the whole world is split into a love it or hate it debate. Rumours were that they may be banned from the World Cup but I personally love them. They don’t annoy me when I’m watching the games, and I actually think they add to the atmosphere. I went to the Soccer Aid 2010 match at Old Trafford in support of Unicef and there were thousands of vuvuzelas being blown throughout the game and it was a much better atmosphere than the match at Wembley a couple of years ago. For this reason, I’ve attached the CD cover (it’s not a real CD) from the email I received entitled “Now that’s what I call Vuvuzela”. If it ever got to the high street I think that some people would actually buy it!!!
