We should make that a default feature on the site for the next month.

Nooooooooooooo!

Heh. That's a *fantastic* idea, BP!

AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Sadly, I was unable to convince my colleagues to change the GPO to make the vuvuzela'ized version of our intranet the NEW home page for everyone.

What trumpet things.









*hahahhahahhahahaheeeee*

Dude, what is up with all this sudden hate? These things have been around forever. They're even in that episode of the Simpsons where Bart gets drunk (someone fires green beer down his, which is how he gets drnkd).

awesome!! this thread on roadbikereview cracked my shit up last night. Especially the LOLKanye pic.

Eide, it's prolly just the typical USian bias - Americans are not-so-much into the World Cup until now, when we're doing sorta okay, so there's a ton more of us rubes / unwashed masses out in the hinterlands what are tuning in and going OMGWTFISTHISNOIZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzZZZ!!!!???.

not to mention it's not been in the "collective consciousness" by which I mean everyone and their 3 year old plus his blue-haired great-nana is now on the world wide internets these days, as opposed to only mostly the working stiffs / cognoscenti as of four / eight / whenever years ago the WC happened.

tl:dr; it's the latest meme, dude.

Lifehacker has an article on how to silence vuvuzela horns.

Comment from the Lifehacker article:
Unfortunately I live in Bloemfontein, South Africa, about 1.5 km from the stadium and I cannot filter out the incessant noise heard from the stadium.

This is hilarious to me.
