It’s been nice, football sans vuvuzelae, hasn’t it? For most of us, anyway, and this surely goes double if you’re the sound engineer for a broadcasting company which pumps out football.

One of the biggest viral hits on the Internet has now come to soccer. The popular “Will It Blend?” series by Blendtec has tried to blend everything from iPhones to baseballs and much more in its blenders.
And now it’s the turn of the dreaded (or lovely, depending on which side of the fence you sit on) vuvuzela.
Watch the above video to see how the vuvuzela blends!

The Vuvuzelas Honking Or No Vuvuzelas, Africa Is The Winner Of The World Cup Games – Peace FM Online
During the past week, I’ve had a chance to immerse myself in mainstream America whether it be sitting in coffee bars overhearing Americans chat, eavesdropping at bars or listening to mainstream radio or TV programs. The topic that all of them seem to be talking about is the vuvuzelas.
Normally, during a World Cup tournament every four years, the subject of the World Cup doesn’t come up in everyday conversation among Americans. Except this year. And the reason it seems like everyone is talking about the World Cup is because of the darned vuvuzelas.
Love them or hate them, the vuvuzelas are getting mainstream America talking about the World Cup. Perhaps it’s not for the best reason (wouldn’t it be great if they chatted about the actual tournament itself), but it’s a start. The topic of vuvuzelas is, to me, similar to a gateway drug. It brings you in and then sucks you in, and hopefully wants you craving for more.
That’s why in 2010, I love the vuvuzelas. I’ve heard them mentioned on a promo for the “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” radio program. I’ve seen them mentioned and discussed on CNN, CNBC and other network TV channels. I’ve heard them discussed on many radio talk shows. It seems that no matter where you go, it’s impossible to escape the topic of vuvuzelas.
The worst thing FIFA could do now is to ban the vuvuzelas. By doing so, they would eliminate one of the biggest talking points from the 2010 World Cup. Let’s hope they stick with the vuvuzelas and that the international World Cup feed continues to use audio filters to decrease the buzzing noise. To me, that’s the best of both worlds.
