In case you don’t know where all the racket is coming from during World Cup matches, you can thank the vuvuzela.
The Vuvuzela: An Examination Of The Fool’s Trumpet
↵
↵It’s a sophisticated instrument capable of two notes: noise, and silence. It can only be played by individuals who know how to breathe. It’s ubiquitous in soccer circles. And while we can’t yet play it while simultaneously imbibing alcohol, we should probably be patient and give scientists some time to work on it.
↵In the spirit of fairness, let’s take a look at the pros and cons offered by this instrument.
↵CONS:
- Noise pollution
- Potential hearing loss
- Can spread disease
↵PROS:
- Is loud
- Is a vuvuzela
↵A pretty open-and-shut case, if you ask me. Vuvuzelas should be played without recess in nearly every occasion. But I’ll let you have the final word.
