Wow So Lance is trolling all the Vuvu threads now with pics of people blowing them? lol :D

Again, interesting use of the term trolling. Post a couple of images and you are a troll. Call someone names and insult them and you are not a troll. Hmm, I'll get it one day....

For the benefit of the less intelligent amongst us I'll add an explanation. Most arguments have revolved around foreigners and how they are hating this world cup. The images appear to dispute this. Many of them appear to have embraced the culture and the vuvuzela.

Do I really have to answer that knowing you will try justify it in a manner that defeats the actual point I am making of how they are being used by bringing up armchair critics and tourists and culture and going in an endless loop with this debate? The thing sounds daft after an hour of using it and is pointless (actually destructive) if used excessively but wonderful if used at the right time, can you not agree with that?

What part of broadcasters need to compromise are you not understanding bro???????

When you bombard every single thread about a particular topic with your agenda, not just with one topic but many, what would you call it?
What would you call it RAS?

Expressing your opinion perhaps?

So Jola is a troll then? I know the answer to that but would be nice to hear from the master definer.

Just start a fight between the haters and lovers in the stadium, that will get it banned for sure.

Ahh, so the definition of trolling now is posting images. Thanks, I had not heard that anywhere before. I have heard that a picture is worth a thousand words so that's where it gets a little confusing again but anyway...

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=trolling


"Being a prick on the internet because you can. Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on an innocent by-stander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can."

"Trolling is the act of purposefully antagonizing other people on the internet, generally on message boards."

"Trolling is trying to get a rise out of someone. Forcing them to respond to you, either through wise-crackery, posting incorrect information, asking blatantly stupid questions, or other foolishness"
I suppose you going to RBP this?
:rolleyes:

Fsuk, I can tell you one thing, I am not usually big on violence but there are a couple of little twerps on this forum that need a damn good beating. I'd be up for that!

Blowing a monotone horn nonstop for 90 minutes is about the closest thing to backwardness as i can come up with. How the hell are these people going to compete at a global level if basic stuff like this eludes them.

The funny thing is lance is beyond such stupidity. He may defend the horns, but in reality he wouldn't actively choose to blow the things nonstop beyond the initial novelty period.

The way to prove to the world Africa is now beyond the dark age of savagery is oddly enough to act with a certain level of decorum.

For sure it could be, depending on the context, like in this case.

The master of obfuscation performs his magic deeds !

If this doesn't shut the critics in this thread up, I dont know what will.

Jordaan told the BBC in an interview that he had to consider the option of banning the trumpets.

"If there are grounds to do so, yes," he said.

Fifa president Sepp Blatter supports the trumpets.

"I have always said that Africa has a different rhythm, a different sound," he said in a Twitter update.

"Would you want to see a ban on the fan traditions in your country?"


But while the ear-splitting plastic trumpets might end up muted in the BBCs screenings, their drone is gaining popularity outside the stadiums of South Africa, and they are predicted to be a common sound at sporting events across the world.

The horns sold out in supermarkets across the UK and virtual vuvuzela apps are soaring on the Apple iTunes charts.

During England's game against America on the weekend the horns were blasted in English pubs and constant shipments have been ordered from South Africa.

Supermarket chain Sainsbury's sold one "Vu Vu" horn every two seconds on Saturday- shifting 22,000 of the instruments in 12 hours before England's game.

It expects to sell out of its extra order of 25,000 horns before Friday's game against Algeria.


Online store Amazon said sales had increased by 1000 per cent since the World Cup started.


David Broughton, from the England-based company thevuvuzelaman.co.uk, said the country was gripped with "vuvuzela fever".

"We sold 1000 online over the weekend. Someone in Dubai has asked for 10,000. If anyone knows of half a million vuvuzelas lying around, they could get very rich," he told British newspapers.

Good lord, it would appear we have started a trend, all attributed to local South African fan culture. Who would have thought it...oh the horror bwahahahahahahahahah. Aint this priceless!!!
